There is no direction in the Presidential Task Force for Eradication of Dengue to tie anyone on to trees, said Health minister Maithripala Sirisena in answer to a question by the media during a briefing this afternoon.
The question amused the Health Minister who smilingly said, “No there is no such stipulation stated". He was answering a question raised whether tying a person was also a part of the punishment stated in the directive of the Presidential Task Force for Eradication of Dengue.
