and to provide better healthcare facilities to those affected by mosquito-borne diseases.

The civic body has announced plans to increase its efforts to control the mosquito population,

including the use of new technologies and the creation of awareness campaigns.

However, many residents remain skeptical about the effectiveness of these measures,

and are demanding more concrete actions to address the issue.

The issue of mosquito control is a major concern for Mumbai,

and the BMC needs to take more effective measures to address it.

The civic body must work towards creating a more effective mosquito-control system,

one that includes the use of new technologies and the creation of awareness campaigns.

In conclusion, the BMC's inadequate mosquito-control measures have been a major concern for Mumbai residents,
