HAFIZABAD-Pye dogs, rats, flies and mosquitoes have made the lives of citizens absolutely miserable as no step has so far been taken by the civic authorities to eliminate these public menaces.
According to a survey conducted by this scribe in different areas of the district, narrow lanes in the old city and new localities have been neglected by the civic authorities and no fumigation could be carried out in their localities for the past few months. There are swarm of flies and ordinary mosquitoes which invade the citizens and in most of the localities, citizens have to pass sleepless nights.
Although no dengue case has been reported in the district so far, yet the authorities have failed to ensure fumigation and spray in all localities of the city and suburban areas.
