BDA — Lakhs of Mosquitoes in My Area!

Address:

Bangalore, Karnataka

Hello There, With all due respect, I would like to bring this to your kind notice that I stay at Byrathi Village, a semi-urban area of Bangalore with pincode: 560077 which comes under kothanuru post is suffering with millions of mosquitoes which may result in a number of people falling prey or epidemics like malaria, dengue or chikungunya. I have been facing this issue for so long but why I decided to write to you is that I saw a baby (2 to 3 years) who was sitting in the lap of his mother on a bakery in the vicinity was sting by several mosquitoes and he was crying like anything. I was driven to deep melancholy after seeing that baby and was more dissatisfied with the social workers of this area (if any)as they must be aware of this problem but have been kept quite for some unknown reasons. In order to give you an insight about the situation over here, I write few points as under: 1. As soon as the dusk breaks, if you stand outside of your home, you will be surrounded by at least 500 mosquitoes and will be bitten here and there every now and then and certainly end up itching all around. 2. There are open drains all around this area, which provides habitat to these tiny blood suckers. 3. There are open garbage disposal in my area, which is again a plus for them. 4. Even when I was writing the mail, most of my time was passing itching here and there, and you know the reason by now very well I believe. 5. Even after setting a couple of mosquito repellent wafers like good night, mortein and others, nothing significant happens. They have probably become resistant to all these FMCG products. I am really sorry if something went offensive. I love Bengaluru and it's people, so thought I should take an initiative to help myself and others around me. I am not taking any name here because I know being in politics don't carry the responsibility of an ideal citizen of the nation. I am simple boy staying in this area and found it worth escalating, so writing this to you. Hope, my words will be taken seriously and appropriate actions will be taken meticulously for us. I love Bengaluru, Namma Bengaluru... Jai Hind
