Dengue Fears Rise as Noida Parks Miss Fogging
12 Sep
Summary
- Residents reported parks in Sector 108 are not being fogged.
- High mosquito populations in parks raise fears of dengue and malaria.
- Noida Authority states fogging is conducted regularly in parks.
Residents in Noida's Sector 108 have formally requested the Noida Authority to implement consistent fogging in the sector's seven parks. They highlight that while street fogging occurs, the parks remain neglected, contributing to a significant increase in mosquito presence.
This escalating mosquito population is causing serious concern among residents due to the heightened risk of dengue and malaria. A local RWA president noted that mosquito-borne diseases are becoming more prevalent, with dengue cases steadily rising. Residents are experiencing considerable inconvenience, especially during morning and evening visits to parks.
District malaria officials confirmed a rise in dengue and malaria cases starting in August, with expected peaks in September and October. However, a senior manager from the Noida Authority stated that fogging is scheduled every 10 days across all Noida sectors and insisted that proper fogging procedures are indeed followed within the parks.
