Garbage in Visakhapatnam Slums Fuels Health Fears During Monsoon

Garbage in Visakhapatnam Slums Fuels Health Fears During Monsoon

Think of it like this: when it rains, some neighborhoods in a city called Visakhapatnam get really messy with trash.

This mess, along with the rain, creates puddles where mosquitoes like to live.

These mosquitoes can make people sick, so the people living there are worried about diseases like dengue and malaria.

The local government isn't picking up the trash as often as they should, and people are concerned about the potential for more illnesses.
