Mumbai: Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation after an inspection at Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor’s house found dengue breeding mosquitoes near.
The BMC officials conducted a thorough inspection at the actors Juhu residence to locate possible mosquito breeding grounds.

“Our team was carrying out routine inspection in the houses and gardens in the area. When it reached the actor’s Juhu Tara road residence, it was denied entry. So our team took the police’s help and entered the premises. Upon inspection of his private swimming pool, large number of Aedes Aegypti mosquito breeding spots were found.The actor was slapped with a notice under section 381-B of Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act, 1888, for not taking measures to prevent mosquito breeding,” said a senior municipal official.

“Shahid is concerned about the findings of BMC in his building and the locality. Specially so with the presence of a new born baby in the house,” spokesperson of Shahid Kapoor said.

With a rise in the number of dengue cases in the city, the BMC is taking all possible steps to curb the spread of the disease. Chikungunya and dengue have wreaked havoc in Delhi and few other parts of the country.
