The city corporation proposes to deploy 5,000 health squads from November 1, State formation day, to detect and eliminate mosquito breeding areas.
The squads will begin visits to households in all 100 wards, according to an official spokesman.
This comes in the backdrop of possible threat of an epidemic outbreak since garbage mounds under various stages of decay are now getting exposed to northeast monsoon rain.
At least 50 squads would be formed in each ward comprising volunteers from the Kudumbasree, Asha workers and from residents associations.
They will turn up at each household to spread the message of dengue prevention and advise dwellers on how to destroy vector breeding points.
