Municipal corporation (MC) Ludhiana organised an awareness camp for prevention of dengue and to promote cleanliness in Manjeet Nagar here on Sunday.
During the camp, the locals were urged to keep their houses and surroundings clean. Further they were also urged to ensure segregation of wet and dry waste in their respective households.
The residents were also asked to ensure regular cleaning of coolers, flowerpots etc. to avoid water stagnation as stagnant water becomes breeding ground for mosquitoes.
