[Resolved]  MCD Develpment / Health Deptt — Excessive mosquitoes in Mayur Vihar due to stagnant water in open nallah

Address: East Delhi, Delhi

This is to bring to your kind attention the escalating problem of mosquitoes in Mayur Vihar Phase 1 all along the Noida Link road in the last few months.

There is a "nallah" that runs parallel to the road draining into the barrage, and in the last few months the flow of sewer water in the said nallah has been blocked. There has been construction going on the Noida Link road to widen it/add flyovers before the CommonWealth Games and also for the Star City Mall and the Jaypee hotels in Mayur Vihar -1. The Nallah flow was blocked about ten months ago for this construction and in this period the sewer water has stagnated, giving rise to not only a lot of stink but also huge mosquito population which is causing great inconvenience to all residents, and also many diseases. We fear this problem is only going to get worse with the rainy season ahead.
We request you to look into the problem as soon as possible. It has been a long standing demand to have the nallah permanently covered but the govt has taken no action on that (the portion in front of the under construction hotels is being covered now though). If that is not possible, it is at least necessary to have mosquito killers sprayed every week in and around the nallah, and open the flow as soon as possible.

Hoping for a quick and favorable action.
