The Kelaniya Pradeshiya Sabha in collaboration with the Divisional
Secretariat, Kelaniya MOH Office, Kelaniya, Peliyagoda and Kiribathgoda
Police are conducting a joint programme to educate the public to combat
the dengue menace.
Kelaniya PS Chairman Prasanna Ranaweera and Kelaniya MOH Dr (Mrs)
Wasantha Rajapaksa, are spearheading the campaign.
Children and elders took part in a procession from the PS office to
Kiribathgoda town carrying placards. Several three-wheelers and
motorcycles also joined the procession.
Kelaniya PS Chairman Prasanna Ranaweera addressing a meeting at the
PS office, said each family should take care to have their houses and
the surroundings clean. Garbage disposal and cleaning of drains, should
be carried out regularly.
To motivate people towards the eradication of dengue mosquitoes, the
government had decided to increase fines for those who allow mosquitoes
to breed in their premises. |
