1K notices slapped on Prez house

New Delhi: The New Delhi municipal council has slapped several notices on the Rashtrapati Bhavan after mosquito-breeding was observed at many pools of stagnant water on the sprawling complex. The NDMC has so far issued over 1,100 notices — and 13 challans — to various buildings in the VVIP Lutyens’ zone, which were found to be “breeding spots” for mosquitoes by its surveillance team. “Every year, we form a surveillance team whose inspection leads to notices being issued by the NDMC,” a senior official said.
