Local self-government bodies will also diligently inspect water tanks within hotels and public institutions.
Specific inspection dates are scheduled: August 18, 2026, for identified hotspots; August 20, 2026, for large-scale waste-generating establishments; and August 22, 2026, for water tanks. All inspection data will be logged on the LSGD's war-room portal for effective monitoring and review at multiple administrative levels.
