Last year, the ’10 Hafte 10 Baje 10 Minute’ campaign had garnered the support of many celebrities as well as officials of government and other autonomous bodies. The campaign will be held every Sunday.
Under the campaign, people are urged to spend 10 minutes every Sunday to make sure there is no stagnant water at their homes and surroundings. The campaign also seeks to engage the residents and urge them to call their friends and relatives and advise them on the good practices of preventing dengue.
