Rising Mosquito Menace in Guwahati Sparks Health Concerns

Unchecked construction projects in Guwahati have led to a surge in mosquito breeding, raising fears of a health crisis. Stagnant water, clogged drains, and poor waste disposal have worsened the situation, especially near construction sites. The Guwahati Municipal Corporation (GMC) has launched a four-step plan, including fogging, larvicide spraying, public awareness drives, and penalties for violations. With monsoon approaching, officials warn of a possible outbreak of mosquito-borne diseases like dengue and malaria.
