'Seems Like A Set Of Sci-Fi Movies': Users React To 'Mosquitoe Tornado'
One of the users wrote, "PMC should speed up their riverfront and river cleaning project, this way water shortage issues will also be resolved."
A second said, "This looks so dangerous."
"Poor hygiene = poor public health," posted a third.
A fourth added, "Seems like a set of sci-fi movies with something supernatural."
"We are in the end game now," commented a fifth.
And sixth said, "Rivers are self-cleaning. They contain animals that feed on mosquito larvae.
The municipal corporation spills sewage into the river and lets corporations pollute it, it leads to unchecked growth of water hyacinth which makes the surface of the river still enough for mosquitoes to breed. It may look funny but it'll not be with the diseases they bring."
Also, Indian Air Force Veteran Flight Lieutenant Virender Singh Virdi (Retd.) posted on his X, "Mosquitoes tornado in Kharadi. Hope this will be taken care of soon."
