Summary:
A+ A-Hyderabad: Hyderabad City Congress Committee (HCCC) Minorities Department Chairman Sameer Waliullah informed that free fogging services would be provided in the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad to control the mosquito menace. He said despite alarming rise in cases of Dengue and Malaria, the GHMC did not take up fogging operations across Hyderabad at a large scale. Therefore, he said it has been decided to conduct fogging operations in affected areas at private level. The Congress leader said that a Helpline Number has been started where people can call if they wish to conduct fogging in their neighbourhood. He said that the GHMC conducted fogging and anti-larval operations in a symbolic manner while neglecting the intensity of the situation..
