FIGHT AGAINST MOSQUITOES INTENSIFIED
***
THE NEW TERRITORIES SERVICES DEPARTMENT CALLED ON THE PUBLIC TO HELP IN THE FIGHT AGAINST MOSQUITOES.
A SPOKESMAN FOR THE DEPARTMENT TODAY URGED PEOPLE WHO COME ACROSS MOSQUITO NUISANCE OF ANY KIND, TO REPORT THIS TO THE URBAN SERVICES OFFICE.
HE ESPECIALLY ASKED OWNERS OF FARM LAND IN THE NEW TERRITORIES TO CO-OPERATE WITH NTSD PEST CONTROL OFFICERS ENGAGED IN ANTI-MALARIA OPERATIONS.
IN SOME CASES, HE EXPLAINED, IT MIGHT BE NECESSARY FOR OFFICERS TO DIG DITCHES AT IRRIGATION SYSTEMS AND AT THE BANKS OF UNUSED FARM LAND TO FACILITATE THE FREE FLOW OF WATER.
HE SAID THE ANTI-MALARIA WORK IN THE NEW TERRITORIES HAD BEEN INTENSIFIED SINCE LAST MONTH, AND SPECIAL ATTENTION WAS BEING GIVEN TO SAI KUNG WHERE A NUMBER OF MALARIA CASES HAD BEEN REPORTED IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS.
SAI KUNG URBAN SERVICES OFFICE ANTI-MALARIA TEAMS WERE MAKING DAILY VISITS TO VARIOUS LOCATIONS AT TUN CHEUNG, PAK KONG, KAP PIN LONG, NAM SHAN, AND LUNG MEI, HE SAID.
THE TEAMS CONSTANTLY MOVE INTO REMOTE AREAS AND HILLS TO CARRY OUT THEIR DUTIES, HE SAID.
IN ADDITION TO SPRAYING EQUIPMENT, THE TEAMS USE GRASS CUTTING AND ROCK REMOVAL IMPLEMENTS TO REMOVE VEGETATION, TRIM STREAM COURSES AND REMOVE ROCKS THAT BLOCK WATER FLOW.
