Cleaning programmes will be held in all schools today to protect schoolchildren from dengue. The programme will be carried out by the Education Ministry prior to the second school term.
The Ministry has already informed all schools in this regard. Parents, students, teachers and others will participate in the programmes.
Mosquito breeding grounds will be cleaned during the programmes.
The Ministry has taken the measure since South-Western monsoon rains could intensify mosquito breeding.
