Karachi: The Pasban Democratic Party has voiced strong criticism of Mayor Karachi Murtaza Wahab’s handling of the city’s severe mosquito problem, linking it to rising cases of mosquito-borne diseases.

According to Pasban Democratic Party, Mayor Karachi Murtaza Wahab is being urged to take immediate action as the city grapples with an increase in mosquito populations, leading to heightened concerns over dengue and malaria. Tariq Chandiwala, a spokesperson for the party, highlighted the urgency of resuming city-wide spraying measures, a practice that was routine following monsoon seasons in the past to curb the spread of mosquitoes and related diseases.

The statement from Pasban comes amid accusations that even local town chairmen are neglecting their duties to ensure proper sanitation and preventive measures in their jurisdictions. The party is calling for a swift and comprehensive response from city officials to mitigate the growing health crisis faced by the citizens of Karachi.
