City stung by malaria [1]

Hyderabad July 24: Several areas in the state including the Hyderabad urban zone and tribal districts are under the grip of malaria. Around 9,687 people have tested positive for the disease this year and at least 37,000 people suspend to be suffering from various fevers including malaria and viral infection. The increasing mosquito menace during the rainy season is the prime reason for the rise in cases of malaria. But authorities are not doing much to contain this problem.
