Taking the challenge of eradicating Dengue epidemic from school gardens and their surroundings, a few more than 1000 members of the Army, drawn from all three peninsula-based Divisions (51, 52, 55) of the Security Force Headquarters - Jaffna (SFHQ-J), carried out extensive cleaning projects inside 67 school compounds in the Jaffna peninsula with the support of respective students and others for two consecutive days.
Those ‘Shramadana’ (self-help) programmes, in consultation with Department of Education and Health Department officials were organized on the instructions of Major General Mahesh Senanayake, Commander, Security Forces-Jaffna after those authorities brought the alarming proportions of the incidence of Dengue to the notice of the SFHQ-J.
Principals, teachers as well as the minor staff in those schools, in addition to the students, joined hands with the members of the Army, comprised of 50 officers for this worthy cause during January 7 - 8 since Dengue mortality rate among Jaffna children was relatively high and fast on the increase in the peninsula.
