Similar complaints of excessive mosquito breeding have been pouring in from across Delhi, following which the civic bodies said that they have increased the frequency of their door-to-door visits in the last few days.
Defence Colony's Residents Welfare Association (RWA) has urged the South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) to take immediate measures to curb aggravated mosquito breeding and lack of security arrangements in their locality.
They have complained about the lack of CCTVs in the area. "It's been long and matters are not getting resolved. None of the concerned authorities are ready to help us. Among many other issues, the colony is also facing problems of overflowing sewage, unauthorised hawkers, potholes, lack of speed breakers on roads, dumping of junk cars and lack of modern garbage collection services," said RWA president, Major (Ret) Ranjit Singh.
Similar complaints of excessive mosquito breeding have been pouring in from across Delhi, following which the civic bodies said that they have increased the frequency of their door-to-door visits in the last few days. "We have been receiving numerous complaints of excessive rise in mosquitoes in Delhi and following which we intensified our measures to tackle the issue. More such activities will be done in the coming days," said Yogendra Singh Mann, spokesperson for the two civic bodies.
"Anti-larval activities are ongoing at the Yamuna and areas having stagnant water points such as open drains. Anti-malaria teams are on their toes and they have intensified their door-to-door visits to check mosquito breeding," he said.
Meanwhile, the residents claimed that they are not witnessing all these activities in their localities from the civic bodies. "I have seen no one from the authorities, taking a round in the colonies to keep a check on the state of drainages and dumping grounds. If the authorities don't come on the ground, how can they invent a solution for the issue?" asked JR Gupta, president, Senior Citizen Council of Delhi.
