Vector-control drive across all KP facilities

Kolkata: Kolkata Police headquarters at Lalbazar has initiated a comprehensive clean-up operation across its facilities, allocating Rs 56 lakh for sanitisation and greening efforts ahead of the monsoon season to prevent the spread of vector-borne diseases like malaria and dengue. The initiative extends to police stations, armed forces barracks, and various departmental buildings. "An external agency will be contracted to maintain cleanliness and manage plant care at traffic guards throughout the year," a senior police official stated. The scope includes the Tala Traffic Training School in North Kolkata, the DC (Traffic) South office, Hackney Carriage branch, stationery, and clothing store. The directive specifically addresses concerns about impounded vehicles near police stations, which can become potential breeding grounds for mosquitoes. Officials have been instructed to ensure proper drainage and prevent water accumulation in these areas. An officer said that the district and commissionerate officials across the state received similar directives for their respective jurisdictions.
