Mosquito breeding – negligence on the part of authorities
Dear Sir/Madam,
We are residents of quarters No.221 to 232, Block C, Nanak Pura, New Delhi-110021. There is a small nullah (Waste water Drain) which is passing through our square and is adjacent to House No.231 and 221 and which is not covered. That is a good place for mosquito breeding. Last year, in only 12 quarters, 7-8 cases of dengue were reported. Despite our complaints to MCD to cover the nullah, the same has not been covered and we are still waiting to face another season of mosquitos. One one hand MCD is penalizing the citizens for not keeping their coolers clean on the other, this nullah has been left open for years. Someone from MCD has to take the responsibility for this. It has become a problem and particularly a threat of epidemics like Malaria, Dengue or Cholera to us.
Therefore, you are requested to kindly forward our request to authorities to first grace a visit to the site and then take appropriate steps towards covering the nullah as early as possible.
We the residents of the vicinity would also like to place following lines for consideration and action by the concerned authorities:
1 First of all some measures for spraying of insecticides there.
2 Cover the nullah immediately.
3 Some arrangement may also be made that garbage dumping is avoided in this nullah.
