Due to the lack of mosquito-repellent spray throughout the district, the mosquito-borne disease dengue has become uncontrollable. Sindh Taraqi Pasand Party leader Nabi Bux Mastoi passed away on Monday due to this disease in his native village Saeed Khan Lakho near Bhiria City.
The deceased leader’s maternal uncle, Shah Nawaz Mastoi, stated that both the municipal authorities and the public health department have neglected their responsibilities to organize and conduct necessary mosquito-repellent spray campaigns, which has allowed the mosquito population to flourish and the disease to spread unchecked in the community.
