Punjab sends teams from Lahore as dengue count rises in Pindi
2015-10-06
[DAWN] The Punjab
1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard
2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots....

government has sent 10 teams from Lahore to monitor the anti-dengue drive in the 46 union councils of Rawalpindi.

Following an increase in dengue cases, the provincial government realised that the local administration could not be relied on to carry out an effective anti-dengue drive. These teams will pay a door-to-door visit and inspect the situation on the ground.

Three monitoring tiers have been established that will look into the work of Rawal Town Municipal Administration, departments of health, environment and others. A special branch of police, assistant commissioners and 10 teams will also inspect the work of anti-dengue drive workers.

Commissioner Zahid Saeed told Dawn that the Punjab government had revised the anti-dengue campaign, directing the local administration to divide the 46 union councils of Rawal Town into three categories - red, orange and yellow.

"Union councils where more than seven dengue cases are reported are declared red, while areas from where fewer patients have been brought to the hospitals have been declared orange and then yellow," he added.
