Condemning the poor sanitary conditions prevailing in the densely populated Tirunelveli Town areas, members of Democratic Youth Front of India staged a novel protest of catching mosquitoes from stagnant sewage.
Led by district secretary of DYFI P. Rajaguru, the activists caught mosquitoes for a while from the stagnant sewage near Santhi Pillaiyar Temple corner in Tirunelveli Town.
The protesting DYFI activists said the stagnant water, especially overflowing sewage, was a potential breeding ground for mosquitoes, the most dangerous vector propagating deadly diseases.
