Delhi Mosquito Control Staff Strike Amidst Malaria-Dengue Season

Imagine it's mosquito season, and some workers in Delhi are in charge of stopping mosquitoes from breeding.

These workers, called DBCs, go to homes to find where mosquitoes lay eggs, spray chemicals, and teach people how to prevent mosquito bites.

But, these workers are unhappy because they want permanent jobs and better pay, since their jobs are not permanent.

They have gone on strike.

This means they are not doing their usual work.

This strike happens during a time when diseases spread by mosquitoes, like malaria and chikungunya, are at a high level.

The workers want the city to listen to their demands and provide them with better working conditions.
