The programme has been launched in line with instructions given to local government bodies and state institutions as per a recommendation by President Gotabaya Rajapaksa to contain the spread of dengue following the rainy season.

“I earnestly request all of you to extend your cooperation to our officials to make this dengue prevention programme a success,” she said.(Lahiru Pothmulla)
