The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's (BMC) anti-mosquito breeding drive is on full swing as it has since January collected Rs 5 lakh in fine from 2,000 owners/tenants after mosquito breeding sources were found at their place.

The fines were collected when the BMC conducted an inspection after receiving several complaints of mosquito biting. The BMC had asked the residents to clean plant pots regularly, keep objects where water gets deposited clean, to not keep water in the open and to inform the civic body to fumigate the area where there is water stagnation.
