Bat infestation in DHA

KARACHI: I am really worried by a bat infestation in DHA Phase 2. Although bats are supposed to be creatures of vacant areas and are usually shown in haunted houses of horror films — there are hundreds of thousands of bats in Phase 2, for reasons we cannot comprehend.

Bats are often rabid animals and what’s really frightening is that they keep entering our homes. They can squeeze through even the smallest opening or vent, and all of a sudden a swooshing sound may be heard over one’s head and we learn that a bat is in our house. The authorities concerned must take serious action to exterminate these bats.
