Too few identified On BBMP’s claim that it had identified 51 mosquito breeding hotspots, the Bench observed that the number of breeding areas for mosquitoes must be much larger in the vast city of Bengaluru and directed the BBMP to submit details ward-wise breeding areas identified and the preventive actions taken. Also, the Bench directed the BBMP to apprise the court during the next date of hearing on the punitive actions, including the imposition of penalty, on those who fail to take steps to prevent the breeding of mosquitoes despite being made aware of such steps by the authorities. In other states Senior advocate S. Sriranga, who appeared for the petitioner, Registrar-General of the High Court, told the Bench that framing regulations under the Epidemic Diseases Act in Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, has resulted in better prevention of the spread of diseases like dengue and similar steps in Karnataka could help the State in the long run.
