Residents to call directly for mosquito menace
Posted on: 22/Apr/2013 1:05:02 PM
Chennai’s residents can now call a distress number to complain about mosquitoes in their area. The Chennai Corporation has announced that it will soon announce phone numbers of sanitary inspectors of each street of the city, who can be called for mosquito fogging.
Speaking about this, a senior official said, ‘We are planning to put up contact details of the sanitary inspector in charge, and the time and day of anti-mosquito fogging in each street. It will help residents contact the designated officer for anti-mosquito fogging.
‘Publicising contact details of officers will reduce the complaints about any service deficiency. It will also help officials to dispose complaints at the earliest. At present, complaints will be routed to the complaint cell (1913). It will take some time for officers to address the issue.
‘(We will) soon map streets to ascertain the situation. Workers complained that they could not cover all streets in a ward due to shortage of materials. Once the mapping is done, we will know the requirements in each ward. We expect a decline in the density of mosquitoes after the deployment of contract workers.’
