The Commissioner of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) will lead the proposed panel. Additionally, representatives from the health department and various civic bodies will join the team. Currently, officials are finalizing the structure and responsibilities at both headquarters and zonal levels. This collaborative approach aims to streamline preventive measures effectively.
The task force will oversee critical prevention and control measures citywide. For instance, teams will monitor mosquito breeding hotspots and ensure timely fogging. Furthermore, the plan includes sanitation drives and enhanced public awareness campaigns. Improved surveillance systems will help the government respond promptly to complaints regarding water stagnation.
Recent data highlights the urgency of these actions. In 2024, Delhi recorded 6,391 dengue cases, while 98 cases appeared by late March 2025. Similarly, malaria cases rose to 792 in 2024. Therefore, officials emphasize that coordinated action is vital before the monsoon season begins. This timing is crucial because the risk of mosquito breeding increases significantly during the rains.

Q2: What are the primary responsibilities of this task force?
