BRS MLA Sudheer holds mosquito net protest at Assembly

BRS LB Nagar MLA D Sudheer Reddy staged a unique protest inside the Assembly premises on Thursday, wearing a dress made of mosquito net to highlight the growing mosquito menace in Greater Hyderabad. He criticised the government for its failure to tackle the issue and demanded immediate measures to protect people from diseases.

The MLA attempted to hold the press conference in the Assembly Media Hall, along with a fogging machine and mosquito nets to underscore his point. However, the Assembly



marshals intervened and confiscated the equipment, citing a lack of permission. Undeterred, the MLA went ahead with the briefing wearing a mosquito net dress.

Speaking on the occasion, Sudheer Reddy said the government failed to take adequate steps to control mosquito infestation, leading to a rise in vector-borne diseases such as dengue and malaria. He said the situation was not only affecting public health but also damaging Hyderabad’s image, with residents and visitors expressing concern.
