Presiding over anti-dengue review meeting, at the Cantonment Board office on Monday, he directed the officers of all departments to ensure better mutual coordination in this regard.

He said that the officers instead of sitting in their offices, should go into the field and personally monitor anti-dengue activities being carried out.
