Q:I am quite apprehensive about moving to Ramanathapuram because I know it has very faulty water drainage since a long time. Have the Coimbatore civic authorities done anything about this situation?
Latest Answer: What about the mosquito menace? Mosquitoes will breed anywhere there is stangnant water. And it is a known fact that there are open drains everywhere, with dirty water flowing on the streets in Ramanathapuram. This is so unhygienic and unsanitary for the residents because there is high chance of catching illnesses like dengue, malaria, viral fever and what not. This can potentially be very dangerous to one's health. Why aren't the civic authorities doing something about this? I think the municipal authorities should seriously consider using biological methods including fish species of Gambusia or hapalochilus and barbus and introduce them into water bodies, to tackle mosquito breeding.
