BDA — Open drain and waste disposal causing infections like Malaria, Dengue Fever in HRBR Layout 1st Block, Bangalore

Address:

Bangalore, Karnataka

There is a vacant plot in our vicinity which belongs to BDA where people from the same layout usually dispose garbage even though the vehicle comes for garbage pickup & workers staying in tents in the same layout dirtying the place by urinating & . Since it's a BDA Layout, we have already raised concerns to the authorities, but of no response. Besides, there is an open drain which was also blocked due to dumping waste and when it rains, water overflows and spread across. Thereby the growth of mosquitoes are increasing day by day. Kids are affected by diseases like dengue fever, malaria, viral fever due to the mosquito bites. We are not in a situation to open the windows even during day hours and evening onwards, count of mosquitoes would be doubled. Hope somebody from the concerned department looks in to this and give us a remedy & to stop the unauthorised stay of workers staying in tents or providing them with a public toilet to maintain cleanliness in this surrounding.
