The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has issued notices to more than 17,000 premises after identifying mosquito breeding sites, but despite this ongoing effort, the prevalence of mosquito breeding sites responsible for spreading diseases like malaria and dengue has not diminished.

Even in October, the BMC continued to report a significant number of malaria and dengue cases. In September 2023, there were 1,313 cases of malaria and 1,360 cases of dengue, while in October (up to October 30), 944 cases of malaria and 979 cases of dengue have been reported.
