Why Coimbatore readers should care
Dengue prevention becomes ward-level once rainwater collects on terraces, drums, tyres and construction corners. In dense Coimbatore neighbourhoods, enforcement can quickly move from advisory to penalty.
What changes for citizens
- Inspect terraces, drums, sumps, buckets, tyres and discarded containers after rain.
- Apartment associations and commercial buildings should document anti-stagnation cleaning.
- Report chronic stagnant-water pockets before mosquito buildup becomes visible.
