Why not rename streets after mosquitoes? KTR jabs Hyderabad civic body

Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president, K. T. Rama Rao on Tuesday launched a scathing attack on the city’s civic administration over the worsening mosquito menace, accusing authorities of failing to control the situation.

The BRS working president mocked the administration, suggesting that several localities be renamed “Domalaguda, Domalahills, Domalabad, Domalapool, and Domalagutta” to reflect the growing mosquito population across the city.

Highlighting the issue, Rao alleged that fogging operations have become nearly non-existent, leading to an alarming rise in mosquitoes and a corresponding increase in viral fevers among residents.

In a sharp and sarcastic remark, he said that in Hyderabad, “only two are enjoying public governance, thieves and mosquitoes,” underscoring his criticism of what he termed as administrative apathy.

BJP Corporator Akula Srvani, posted a video with a mosquito racket in hand saying, “ Mosquitoes are working 247 in GHMC, but SPECIAL OFFICIERS seem to be on permanent holiday.

Looks like shri Revanth Reddy has handed Hyderabad over to mosquitoes.”

The comments come amid rising public complaints about sanitation and vector control, with residents in several parts of the city reporting poor civic response and increasing health concerns.
