Civic body fines ‘VIP offenders’ for failing to check mosquito breeding

Neither school principals nor public works engineers have been spared by the North Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC) in its drive to prevent breeding of mosquitoes. The civic body has fined 45 such “VIP” offenders for failing to clean their premises of potential breeding spots for mosquitoes. The list includes six principals and two banks.

“The fines can be up to Rs.7000 depending on the extent of breeding. We did this to send out the message of zero tolerance against vector-borne diseases. Citizens visit these places and breeding there can cause an epidemic,” NDMC standing committee chairman MP Bhardwaj told The Hindu .
