Coolers are often regarded as the biggest sources of mosquito breeding. To combat this, the Delhi civic body has designed dengue-free coolers.
After a massive outbreak last year, the municipal corporations of Delhi are promoting cost-effective innovative methods to deal with mosquito breeding this year. Dengue-free cooler is a normal air cooler that has been modified with a mosquito net above the water container to prevent mosquitoes from coming in contact with the water. The modified cooler can work wonders, said a corporation official.
The net, which comes with a plastic frame, can be made by any local cooler manufacturer and can easily be fit in existing coolers. The municipal corporations have, in fact, held meetings with cooler manufacturers and asked them to add the nets to all new coolers.
