BANGALORE: The BBMP team on Thursday found a private builder who has
kept his premises unclean, which became breeding ground for mosquitoes,
and slapped him with a fine of Rs 25,000. Residents also pointed out how
the machineries and unclean compound caused stench and poses health
hazards to thousands of them.

buildings in the city. The survey will begin from July 30. If required,
BBMP will take up fogging and other preventive measures to avoid the
spread of dengue. On Thursday, BBMP east zonal medical officers
