Additionally, he emphasised the need for a surveillance system to swiftly detect and respond to any suspected cholera cases.
The Speaker also urged the Governor to direct the Ministry of Environment to enhance sanitation infrastructure and ensure proper waste management practices to prevent water contamination and pollution.
