Menacing mosquitoes!

January 07, 2013 08:08 pm | Updated 08:08 pm IST

Mosquitoes are one of the main culprits in spreading diseases like dengue, malaria, chikungunya and many others in our society. We should take steps to keep our environment free from these mosquitoes.

A lot of people have died from the dreadful disease that is dengue. The authorities must take proper steps and actions to rid our surrounding of these mosquitoes.

We will see to it that we do not keep the tanks open to let water-logging. We will keep our surroundings clean and avoid dumping the garbage around the area where we live. Now should we wait for someone to do it for us or should we safeguard ourselves from this menace?
