CAMPAIGN FOR ERADICATION OF DENGUE VIRUS

Dear EO’ers,

As you all are aware that thousands of people have been affected by dengue virus in Lahore / Punjab and large number of deaths have been claimed by this deadly virus. Now symptoms of dengue fever are also being felt in Karachi. In order to reduce the habitat and number of mosquitoes and limiting exposure to bites it is proposed to launch anti dengue drive in Karachi for its prevention and control. The campaign will be launched in whole Karachi; especially in less developed and neglected localities where it is feared that outbreak of dengue virus is more likely.

To launch anti-dengue campaign, we need at least six fogging machines and anti-mosquito spray. Each fogging machine would cost around Rs.135,000/-, besides cost of the spray.

To achieve the objective we need appropriate funds and speedy measures.  In this regard Diamond Foam Unit at Karachi voluntarily offers its vehicles for spray in the city.Every member of our organization ,personally visit and monitor those areas where our organization sent fogging machines for spray.

Look forward for your kind cooperation at the earliest, to prevent Karachites from this deadly virus.
