Director General (DG) Faisalabad Development Authority (FDA) Muhammad Asif Chaudhry said that dengue was a serious issue and it could be tackled only with stern preventive measures. Hence, no negligence and lethargy would be tolerated in anti-dengue arrangements. Addressing a hurriedly called meeting with the representatives of private housing societies here on Monday, he said that the government had activated its entire machinery to eliminate dengue menace.
He directed the management of private housing schemes to implement anti-dengue standard operating procedures (SOPs) in toto for complete eradication of dengue; otherwise, strict action would be taken against developers of private housing colonies if dengue larvae was recovered from any site. He said that the number of dengue patients was increasing day by day.
