Nagpur Intensifies Mosquito Control Efforts Before Monsoon
Nagpur is preparing for the monsoon season by tackling mosquito breeding grounds.
The Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) is sending out checkers to inspect open plots of land, which are prone to stagnant water and trash that mosquitoes like.
They are also using special treatments like larvicide and tablets to kill mosquito larvae.
If plots are not kept clean, owners may face penalties.
Teams will also visit homes to check for potential breeding areas and test for diseases to prevent outbreaks.
NMC is deploying 100 breeding checkers to identify mosquito breeding grounds.
Open plots are a major concern due to stagnant water and garbage.
Property owners may face legal action if plots are not maintained.
Larvicide and tablets are being used to kill mosquito larvae.
Rapid response teams conduct door-to-door surveys and health screenings.
