A dengue eradication campaign was launched in Kaduruduwa and suburban areas in the Panadura MOH division yesterday with the participation of the Army Engineering Unit (4), public health inspectors and Kaduruduwa Welfare and Death Donation Society members.

Army Commander Lieutenant General Mahesh Senanayake said if welfare societies sponsor similar campaigns to eradicate the dengue menace, Sri Lanka Army units could assist such programmes. If every householder kept their environment clean, the dengue menace could be eradicated.

The officials visited every house in groups, to promote the campaign.
