Man Delivers Mosquitoes to Raipur Civic Body in Protest
A man in Raipur, India, was bitten by mosquitoes and worried they might have dengue.
He killed the mosquitoes, put them in a bag, and took them to the city office to show the problem.
The city tested the mosquitoes and found they were normal.
But the man and others say there are too many mosquitoes in the city, and the city's efforts to control them aren't working.
They want the city to do more to fix the problem.
Daulal Patel delivered mosquitoes to the Raipur Municipal Corporation to protest the mosquito menace.
He feared the mosquitoes might carry dengue and took them for testing.
The mosquitoes were found to be ordinary, not dengue carriers.
Opposition leader Akash Tiwari and activist Vijay Sona accompanied Patel, criticizing the city's mosquito control efforts.
Residents express skepticism about the city's intensified fogging and anti-larval spraying plans.
