Mumbai: BMC Intensifies Mosquito Control Amid Disease Surge

The city of Mumbai is working hard to stop the spread of diseases like malaria and chikungunya, which are spread by mosquitoes.

Because of some recent rain, there are more mosquitoes around.

The city government is going around to find and destroy places where mosquitoes lay their eggs, like standing water.

They've sent out many warnings and are even taking some people to court because they aren't keeping their areas clean.

The number of malaria and chikungunya cases has increased, but dengue cases have gone down a bit.

The city is asking everyone to help by keeping their surroundings clean.
