The drive is being carried out on the advice of Municipal Chairman Arivarasu and under the direction of Municipal Commissioner Gopinath. Health inspectors, larvae eradication workers and sanitation staff from the municipality's health wing are working together, conducting intensive inspections of houses, vacant plots, construction sites, public places and areas prone to water stagnation.
