11-02-2009 Cochin is the biggest city that Kerala have. Its now also called as little Mumbai. 24 crore Rupees is being spent by people all over Cochin a year for just defending from mosquito. This is eight times higher amount than Cochin Corporation spends a year. Unfortunately this 27 crore Rupees is giving much lower protection from mosquitoes. That is people of Kerala are spending six and half lakh Rupees a day. All over Kerala 22 lakh worth mosquito defending equipments are being sold out daily. Out of this 30% is at Cochin. As the mosquito crisis increases, anti mosquito equipments prices are increasing too. Companies are making use of this situation to increase the price by 100 – 200%. Common equipments available in markets are electronic bats, mats, coils, vaporizers, gel, cream, spray, lotion etc. As the mosquito fly faster, the company brands are also increasing. Very sad fact is that most of the equipments are less effective for mosquitoes. Moreover this is killing the humans gradually. There are 200 types of mosquitoes in Kerala. There are singers, skin irritators, and disease spreading mosquitoes living freely. These mosquitoes are attacking day and night. These are raising serious questions about hygienic Kerala. Specialists tell that armiger’s mosquitoes are leading the way in Kerala. Instead of preventing these mosquitoes from the Larvae stage, administrators are looking to cure the after effect. Lot of people dies because of many mosquito generating diseases. Every one knows in Kerala that waste dumps are the living place of these insects. No one cares theses facts. Administrators never mind these sitting and sleeping at safe places where mosquito won’t enter. People who are affected by these insects itself do harm to themselves. They dispose plastic materials that can store water which encourages mosquito growth. They dispose plastics at canals which are very low than sea level which makes mosquito’s ideal living place.
