Mosquito menace

Letter November 30, 2018
I urge the authorities to carry out fumigation drives in the city

KARACHI: With the onset of winter there is a considerable rise in mosquitoes in Karachi which is making it difficult for people to sleep properly. The surge in mosquitoes is also causing an increase in the incidence of malaria and dengue. Obviously the cause of the increasing number of mosquitoes is the unhygienic conditions prevailing in the city. I urge the authorities to carry out fumigation drives in the city and also to take measures to improve sanitary conditions in the city.
