New Delhi, Oct 18 (TIWN) Responding to the appeal by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in his fight against dengue, shopkeepers from across Delhi on Sunday joined the '10 Hafte 10 Baje 10 Minute' anti-dengue campaign.

Kejriwal welcomed the move and thanked the shopkeepers in Delhi for taking part in the campaign and protecting themselves as well as their customers from dengue -- the most prevalent vector-borne viral infection transmitted by the Aedes mosquitoes.  The seventh week of the '10 Hafte 10 Baje 10 Minute' anti-dengue campaign has sought help from shopkeepers in the national capital to inspect their shops and surroundings for stagnant water every Sunday for 10 minutes, and drain it to prevent the breeding of dengue mosquitoes around them.
