Bengaluru: As COVID-19 spreads, BBMP runs campaign to kill larvae before dengue bomb explodes

With rains comes reason for viruses like dengue to spread. The BBMP, in advance, has taken measures to contain the spread. Health officials have been given instructions to spray chemicals at low lying areas and drains where mosquitoes breed.

While only a few cases of dengue have been reported, Bengaluru’s civic body BBMP claims that it has already taken measures.

 From asking its workers to head to low lying areas and places where water stagnate during rains and conduct a door-to-door survey to educate people and destroy the source from where these killer dengue mosquitoes breed, the BBMP are trying to avoid having another problem on their hands.
