Donating blood everyday to mosquito’s causes stress and listening to the music of mosquitoes in ears creates tension. In living rooms of Puducherry people in day time too cover their bodies with mosquito nets and time has come for people to come out in streets wearing mosquito nets like rain coats.
There is a monument of public money wastage of Union Government in Puducherry known as Vector Control Research Institute, which for decades had swallowed public money without any invention to redeem people of Puducherry from the bites of mosquitoes.
But Center for Research in Entomology, Madurai had found a solution to arrest mosquito breeding. Floating tiny thermacol like beads of polystyrene, a compound used in making cups and packaging material suffocate mosquito larvae and pupae prevents mosquito breeding. Strewing 3 mm in beads of polystyrene in breeding havens like pit latrines or unused wells reduces mosquito breeding research now with Indian Council of Medical Research established beyond doubt by field experiments in villages of Villupuram. Dr.B.K.Thyagi the researcher waits for Governments to awaken from slumber.
A hotel near my home lets its drainage water in open canal in the street which remains stagnated for weeks awaiting monsoon to flush it out, and living near a breeding ground of mosquitoes I am forced by Puducherry Municipality and Health Department and Vector Control Research Institute of Gorimedu Indiranagar to listen to the music of miss mosquitoes that make a beeline to this bachelor’s room. Let Indira Nagar M.L.A, Thamizh Selvan woo these mosquitoes to his constituency and save me from mosquito bites. Sound bytes in TV are welcome to me but not mosquito bites.
