Corporator Dr Mohd Khasim Oversees Operations
The drive is being closely monitored by Vijay Nagar Division Corporator Dr Mohd Khasim, who is ensuring that all critical areas within the division receive fogging treatment. Special attention is being paid to densely populated colonies, stagnant water zones, and vulnerable areas.
Model Initiative Under AIMIM Leadership
The fogging pilot is being implemented under the visionary leadership of AIMIM Chief Barrister Asaduddin Owaisi and Nampally MLA Janab Mohammed Majid Hussain, who aim to expand the programme across other GHMC divisions. The current drive in Vijay Nagar is expected to serve as a model for comprehensive fogging coverage in the entire constituency.
Goal: 100% Fogging Coverage
Authorities have set a clear objective of achieving 100% fogging coverage in the coming weeks. Residents have been encouraged to cooperate with the GHMC teams and report mosquito breeding spots for swift intervention.
The pilot programme is seen as a proactive step toward safeguarding public health during the monsoon and reflects the importance of timely civic action in controlling seasonal outbreaks.
