Hyderabad needs slew of urgent steps to swat mosquito menace

After the rain stopped, lots of mosquitoes appeared in a big city called Hyderabad in India.

Mosquitoes are tiny bugs that bite people and can make them sick.

The rain left puddles of dirty water and piles of garbage on the streets.

Mosquitoes love to lay their eggs in that kind of water.

Because there are so many mosquitoes, some people are getting fevers and feeling sick.

Residents say the city is not spraying enough medicine to keep the mosquitoes away.

People say it is hard to sit outside or open their windows in the evening.

They want the city to clean up the water and garbage quickly.

If the mosquitoes bite too many people, they could spread diseases like dengue and malaria.

That is why everyone is asking for help to make the city safe again.
