CM’s tweet

“Today, after checking my house for 10 minutes, I called 10 of my friends and encouraged them to check their houses. This time we have to defeat dengue.#DilliKeChampion,” the CM tweeted.

He also released a video of himself checking his home and urged Delhiites to not only inspect their homes but also post the message on WhatsApp groups and write, “I have inspected my house for dengue. You also do the same”. By doing so, he said, Delhiites would become champion against dengue.
