RAWALPINDI: Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) sealed 108 under-construction buildings over violations of dengue Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) in the Garrison City.
According to a spokesperson, an RDA team along with the Health Department officials conducted raids in different areas in Union Council Chak Jalal Din to eradicate dengue larvae and took action by the law against the rules violators.
Prior to the grand operation, field staff of the health department inspected several under-construction buildings and found dengue larvae, which led RDA to take action, the spokesperson added.
The spokesperson said the RDA and health department teams on the directives of the Rawalpindi Division Commissioner Engineer Aamir Khattak and RDA Director General Kinza Murtaza had accelerated their ongoing operations to take action against the violators of anti-dengue SOPs.
He further said RDA Additional Director General (ADG), Awais Manzoor Tarar, had also directed the approved housing schemes to adopt all possible anti-dengue measures. The ADG instructed the housing societies to nominate representatives and form teams under a focal person to implement anti-dengue SOPs.
Additional Director General RDA further warned that FIRs would be lodged against those from whose properties dengue larvae would be detected.
