Mosquitos?

Shankar Sahay, a parent of a child in the primary section of MIS writes in to say that there is a "problem of unclean toilets, collected water, which acts as breeding ground for mosquitos". This is, of course, a danger to our kids and to all of us as well.

Shankar says that the cases of dengue are sharply on the rise in MIS, especially in the primary section. This is very very worrisome, and will be taken up soon-

Can we get the MCD to take some steps in this regard? Please write in with suggestions.

This is serious matter and school authorities as well as MCD should take immediate action on this. Even my son have been complaining of mosquito bites in the school and I did leave a note in his diary for the same.

Well, there are more Dengue cases being reported from MIS primary section. I request you to please talk to school authorities to take some immediate preventive steps.

Ash, I agree. When I met Mr Bhalla and Mr Basu on Saturday, this came up, and they told me that the MCD had come and sprayed in the school.

However, other parents have also brought it up and I will talk to the Principal again.

Hi! my 2 daughters are studying in MIS.
Elder one studying in class XI got dengue fever on 22nd August.She was admitted to MAX Hospital,Saket where there were 2 more students from MIS.She could not attend school for 3 weeks.
Younger daughter, studying in class VII, came back home on 8th September with a swollen eye from a mosquito bite at School.
Cleanliness is a real problem. Recently, Physics Lab has been made on the 1st floor and class VII E has been shifted from there to ground floor. The new class is next to the toilet which badly stinks.
