The Model Town Society has been conducting dengue fogging in the model town park during peak hours resulting into two elderly women fainting on the walking track, Pakistan today has learnt.
Scores of people go to the model town park for morning and evening walks even from distant housing societies owing to a lack of parks in their localities. However, the odd hours of spray have caused great inconvenience to joggers and those coming to relax.
On Saturday however, two elderly women fainted on the jogging track, which passers by claimed was because of the dengue fogging.
“The administration should keep in mind that people of all age groups come for a walk and it could be adverse for their health. I am also a patient and go for a walk every day but face inconvenience because of the untimely fogging campaign. Two women have fainted in front of us and I too, had to get off the jogging track because of suffocation,” Mrs Qazilbash told Pakistan Today.
Health EDO Dr. Inam-ul-haq said however that the dengue fogging in model town is done and supervised by the model town administration while the government has nothing to do with it.
The office bearers of the Model Town Society were not available for comments.
I was upset to find half of the 2.5 kilometer track filled with anti-dengue fogging on Saturday.
Why the Model Town administration could not manage the spray at midnight, much before the rush hours?
