With the increase in cases of Chickengunya and Dengue in the state of Andhra Pradesh, Chief Minister of state N Chandrababu Naidu kicked off ‘Domala pai dandayatra’ (war on mosquitoes) in Eluru with an aim to make Andhra Pradesh a happy and healthy state by eradicating mosquitoes.

 

At a rally, CBN urged the people to come forward to put an end to mosquito breeding menace, which often leads to spread of seasonal diseases and viral fevers. “People throw wastes on the road and the municipality then dumps it in the drains and ultimately it leads to mosquito breeding.
