Nagpur: Janhit NGOs once again took their own Nagpur Municipal Corporaton tasks should do.
In the midst of the prevalence of dengue cases in every fifth house in several parts of Western Nagpur, volunteers from Janhit spraying Larvisides, cleaning water contamination and creating awareness among the population.
NGOs accused citizenship officials only conducted a token survey, and most of the homes and breeding spots were never included in the practice.
Assistant Commissioner of the City of Prakash Warade said the Civic teams did their work.
“We do fogging and regular spraying in our jurisdiction.
Sometimes people take good initiatives and cannot be stopped.
On Thursday, we also checked the power cord lying in Shankar Nagar Ground.
We instruct it to remove garbage from the playground.
The cable will be removed by Mseb in some time, “he said.
JaHit Convener Abhijit Jha, a resident of Manav Seva Nagar, said NGOs preferred to take civilian problems because he and other volunteers came from the same locality.
“If my house is not in order rather than how can we take trouble elsewhere? We see a sad situation and because the Civic body fails in its duties, we have reached the ground,” he said.
Warade claims contested by Jha said the Civic body lacked labor and resources.
“They told us that chemicals were not available for spraying and fogging.
On 23 and July 24, Van Fogging should come in the area but never appeared.
NMC also lacked labor.
The gutter line overflowed.
But nothing connects them.
The teams came and surveys only a few houses.
I asked the assistant commissioner to personally come and see the situation, “he said.
Regarding dengue patients, Jha said every other home they visited had fever patients, especially children.
“People go to a local doctor for care and stay at home.
The full focus of NMC is in Covid.
The decision for diseases transmitted through vectors is taken at a high-level meeting but has never been applied,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner of the Lavangare-Varma Prajaka Divisioner held a review meeting and was ordered to check and take precautions at the construction site and opened the land where the water had accumulated.
