In view of increasing Covid-19 cases in Dehradun, the Municipal Corporation of Dehradun (MCD) will continue its sanitisation drive to disinfect the major public places of the city on Sundays. While informing about this, the Dehradun mayor Sunil Uniyal' Gama' added that the task of sanitisation would be done in marketplaces only on Sundays from the next week as all the shops remain closed on this day.
Meanwhile, the corporation sanitised all the main public places of the 100 wards this weekend using about 5.6 lakh litres of disinfectant. On Saturday, the corporation used about 2.5 lakh litres of one percentage sodium hypochlorite solution to sanitise public places of some selected wards with the help of 25 tractors and eight other vehicles. In the remaining wards, MCD sanitised the public places on Sunday using 3.1 lakh litres of disinfectant with the help of about 33 vehicles including the tractors. It is pertinent to mention here that the corporation has spent over Rs one crore in the sanitisation of the city since the administration first imposed the lockdown in March to curb the spread of Covid-19.
