Concern swells as dengue cases surge in KR Market

Bengaluru, NT Bureau: In KR Market, the rising cases of dengue have sparked widespread concern among residents and local authorities. Despite efforts by the BBMP to curb the spread of the disease, the situation continues to worsen, prompting questions about the underlying causes.

The market, known for its vibrant trade in greens and vegetables, has become a breeding ground for mosquitoes due to stagnant water and decaying organic matter.

This combination has created an ideal environment for mosquito breeding, exacerbating the risk of dengue transmission. Residents are particularly alarmed by the sight of rotting produce and standing water teeming with hundreds of mosquitoes.

Many express fears about the potential consequences if immediate action is not taken to mitigate the spread of dengue.
