Scared of dengue, locals raise a stink over stagnant water

Residents living in Dheeraj Heritage Residency II, a swanky Santacruz (W) society, are in deep water these days. The stagnant water inexplicably accumulating in their society on a daily basis, and the BMC’s apathy in rectifying the problem, is making their home a perfect breeding ground for dengue-spreading mosquitoes. Left with no other option, they have to arrange for the water to be pumped out at frequent intervals.
