Mumbai Corporators Demand Stronger Fogging As Malaria Cases Rise

Mumbai’s city representatives say mosquitoes are breeding at construction sites.

They say some stagnant water is not being treated properly.

They also say fogging teams do not always visit problem areas.

Some representatives want every ward to have its own fogging machine.

They questioned whether old machines are still useful.

City officials were asked to take quick action during the monsoon.

Malaria cases increased compared with the same period last year.

Dengue cases, however, went down.

A detailed report is expected at the next committee meeting.
