In response to a question, the mayor said that the residents of the city are not getting rid of the mosquito infestation soon. However, all efforts are being made by North City Corporation.
He said that the infestation of Culex mosquitoes has increased in the capital. As a result, since March 8, we have been conducting operations in various areas of DNCC to kill mosquitoes. One thousand 400 workers are working simultaneously in this operation.
