An initiative has been taken by the Kundasale Pradeshiya Council to control the spread of Dengue and other mosquito related diseases in the areas under their purview.Victoria Range has been co-opted as a participant in this initiative.The potential risks for the breeding of the dengue mosquito has been identified by the Health Authorities and a check list has been generated by the Dengue Action Group in line with these risks.
The main thrust of the initiative is to keep one's homes and premises risk free.A few permanent residents at Victoria Range have formed a group to implement this initiative to control the breeding of Dengue mosquitoes in the Complex.
One of the first tasks of this group was to identify the homes whose gardens are in neglect. This letter is specially directed to them.
We urge you to take immediate steps to be responsible to maintain your garden in a routine, regular manner. Your garden and premises will be subject to a regular inspection against the checklist. Please note that continued neglect of your premises, posing a potential dengue risk is anti-social and liable for prosecution by the Health Authorities.
It might be useful for you to be aware that this initiative covers the whole complex which includes the Nivasie controlled common areas such as the drains, roads, ponds, green areas and ICC controlled areas such as the construction sites, workshops, etc.
This groups intention is to regularly monitor the progress of this initiative by planned visits covering the entire complex and generate a monthly report which will be made available to the MOH, Kundasale and the Victoria Range HOA members.
As concerned members of the Victoria Range HOA, we believe that you will take meaningful steps to heed to our appeal and cooperate in this effort.
Sincerely yours,
The Action Group - Control the Breeding of Dengue Mosquitoes
