The mosquito menace in the City and the rising cases of dengue have drawn the attention of the High Court.
During the hearing of a petition on Tuesday, a division bench of acting Chief Justice S K Mukherjee and Justice B V Nagarathna expressed concern that many people were being afflicted with mosquito-borne diseases. “There is a need to increase preventive measures like fogging. The authorities must take effective steps to prevent the mosquito menace,” the acting chief justice told the Principal Government Advocate, R Devdas. The bench also orally directed the State government to file a report in this regard.
