Q:Hello all, I am looking to relocate to Kochi from Mysore with my family, since my parents live there. However, I have come across many complaints regarding outbursts of malaria and water-borne diseases frequently during monsoons, and I’m concerned. Can anyone please let me know what the situation is?
Latest Answer: Hi, I absolutely agree with that. After a lot of complaints having been put forward, the government has taken this issue seriously. They are even conducting health camps on a massive scale to spread awareness among the people regarding these diseases, and to provide early treatment. All the major schools and other institutions are being targeted and soon they have promised to keep a lid on this outbreak. As far as the waterlogging is concerned, it is still a major issue in some areas like Mattancherry and Fort Kochi, but these issues are also being addressed by the local bodies and will soon be resolved.
