The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has identified 27,600 chronic mosquito breeding sites, contributing to the rise in dengue, malaria, and other vector-borne diseases.
GHMC is conducting targeted anti-mosquito operations in these areas, focusing on locked houses, function halls, low-lying areas, open plots, cellars, and construction sites. Increased surveillance and public cooperation in eliminating discarded containers, tyres, and plastic bottles are essential.
Locked houses are the most prevalent breeding sites, with nearly 9,680 identified, followed by construction sites (6,370), open plots (6,157), cellars (4,634), and function halls (767).
