Raj Thackeray blames migrants for malaria outbreak in Mumbai | | Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray has blamed migrants for the outbreak of malaria in Mumbai. "It is all an attack
of the population. These epidemics of malaria and dengue don't spread on their
own. Who is coming to Mumbai, who is staying in Mumbai, no one knows. Slums are
increasing; gutters are flowing and breeding mosquitoes. The municipal corporation
blames the state government and vice-a-versa. This is the only business going
on," Thackarey told reporters here. "All the city's hospitals are crowded with
these migrants. There's absolutely no space left for anyone else. Where does the
local go, then?", he said. Heavy downpour has flooded streets and houses in Mumbai
and several rivers are in spate across Maharashtra . While a good monsoon is vital
to India 's farm sector, heavy rains and runoff also leads to floods and outbreak
of diseases. |
