Jind, August 18
Swarms of mosquitoes have virtually forced the residents and their milch animals to take drastic measures to protect themselves, as the mosquito menace here has reaches epidemic proportions.

The entire rustic scenery is dotted with bright pink, blue and yellow nets, which protect the most prized possessions of the villagers— their high yielding cattle— from the mosquitoes. Villagers say that the mosquitoes disturb the animals, thus causing their milk yield to decline.

Even as residents themselves, brave the malaria fever, their main concern is to protect their animals. They allege that the health department or the local administration has refused to act, even though the mosquito concentration has increased drastically in the past fortnight.
