I have observed the formation of stagnant water pools behind my property, and these pools have become breeding grounds for an alarming number of mosquitoes, including the Aedes aegypti mosquito, which is known to be a carrier of the dengue virus. The situation has become increasingly unbearable, and my family & Neighbours and I are extremely concerned about our health and safety.

I kindly request that the municipality take immediate action to address this critical issue. Here are the specific concerns and actions I would like to propose:

Investigate the Source: Please conduct a thorough investigation to identify the source of the wastewater discharge and take necessary measures to stop this illegal and unsanitary practice.

Mosquito Control: Initiate immediate mosquito control measures in the affected area. This should include fogging and larvicidal treatments to reduce the mosquito population.

Drainage Improvement: Assess the drainage system in the vicinity and make any necessary repairs or improvements to ensure proper water flow and prevent future water stagnation.

Health Awareness: Launch an educational campaign in the community to raise awareness about the risks associated with mosquito-borne diseases, such as dengue. Provide guidance on preventive measures that residents can take.

Community Involvement: Encourage community involvement in addressing this issue. Organize clean-up drives and involve residents in maintaining a mosquito-free environment.

I understand the municipality's commitment to the well-being of its residents and hope that prompt action will be taken to rectify this situation. I believe that by addressing this problem swiftly, we can not only improve the quality of life for those affected but also prevent the potential outbreak of dengue and other mosquito-borne illnesses in our community.

I kindly request a response from the municipality as soon as possible, outlining the steps that will be taken to address this urgent matter. If any further information or assistance is required from my end, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank you for your immediate attention to this serious concern. I look forward to a swift resolution to ensure the safety and well-being of our community.
