The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) found 21 mosquito breeding spots near Dadar, Matunga, Mahim and Sion railway stations on Saturday.

According to the BMC officials, a special ‘Mosquito Eradication Campaign’ was started at the ward level to control malaria and dengue cases. The civic body’s G North ward organised a special monsoon drive to find out breeding spots in various areas across the ward. The drive helped the BMC to locate 21 Anopheles mosquito larvae breeding spots on the sheds and roofs of four railway stations.
