KOLKATA: The Bidhannagar Municipal Corporation (BMC), along with health department officials, have started a survey to collect the samples of mosquito larvae from the most dengue-prone zones of Salt Lake and Rajarhat. These samples will be tested in the health department’s laboratory to find out the exact species of mosquitoes so that appropriate larvicide can be used in those areas.
The move came following a prod by health department that has been flooded with complaints from residents that the larvicides used by the civic bodies across the state are not working effectively.
