Malaria claims 45 lives in Mumbai
Posted on Friday, 6th August 2010
Two more people died of Malaria on Wednesday night, taking the death toll in Mumbai to 45. The number of Malaria patients has gone up to 988 since August 1. That belied the claims made by the Health authorities that Malaria is showing signs of decline now.
The latest victims were from Goregaon and Haji Ali. Situation is going from bad to worse in many parts of Mumbai. The BMC is working hard to deal with the crsis and bring the situation under control.
Ironically, Mumbai's Mayor Shraddha Jadhav does not acknowledge that Malaria has raised a panic button in the city. She claimed the BMC has been successful in preventing malaria cases in the city!
