Pune Societies Intensify Mosquito Control Efforts Amidst Monsoon Season
Mosquitoes are a big problem during the rainy season in Pune.
To help keep people safe, neighborhood groups are doing things like spraying special bug spray and cleaning up where mosquitoes might live, such as in dirty water.
Many people are also putting up nets, using special oils, and burning incense to keep the mosquitoes away from their homes.
They are doing this because a lot of people got sick from mosquito bites last year.
The groups also want the local government to help by spraying and cleaning too.
Everyone is working together to stop the mosquitoes!
Housing societies in Pune and Pimpri Chinchwad are combating mosquito menace.
Aggressive fogging, clean-up drives, and sprays are being implemented.
Residents are using mosquito nets, citronella oil, and medicated incense.
Pre-monsoon cleaning of drainage and sewage systems is underway.
