A concerned young man employed in Kuwait, Kader Hussain, reached out to the Thanjavur Municipal Corporation in the Delta region of Tamil nadu regarding the escalating mosquito menace affecting his family in Chinna Ariskara Street, ward 30.
Hussain's six-month-old daughter and other family members were enduring mosquito bites, prompting him to seek immediate intervention.
Expressing the urgency of the situation, Hussain sent an email to the Thanjavur Municipal Corporation, drawing attention to the mosquito issue prevalent in the corporation's jurisdiction.
The rising mosquito population, especially in areas with vegetation and sewage water, posed a significant challenge for residents, causing distressing mosquito bites, particularly during the evenings.
Fearing for his infant daughter's health, Hussain's plea caught the eye of City Health Officer Dr Subhash Gandhi. In response, municipal corporation health workers were promptly dispatched to Chinna Ariskara Street.
Thorough mosquito repellent spraying was carried out across the area, addressing the mosquito problem not only in Hussain's house but in the entire vicinity.
The swift action taken by the municipal corporation resonated positively with Hussain, who expressed gratitude for the immediate resolution of the mosquito issue affecting his family.
The collaborative efforts between the concerned citizen and the municipal administration highlight the importance of community engagement in addressing local challenges effectively.
