MUMBAI: The city registered a drop of 85% in incidence of malaria over the last three years, with only 10,000 cases registered in 2013.

"Around 76,500 malaria cases were recorded in 2010, but the number has reduced drastically," said BMC's executive health officer Dr Arun Bamne. Since January, the city has registered 1,622 cases. Deaths too have reduced from 198 in 2009 to 145 in 2010, 69 in 2011, 45 in 2012 and 30 in 2013.

On the occasion of World Malaria Day on Friday, BMC officials said work on mosquito-control ahead of monsoon has already begun. "We have begun holding meetings with various land-owning government organizations to carry out mosquito control measures," said Dr Bamne.

A meeting with representatives of 59 organizations was held recently. Another meet will be held in May to review the measures carried out by the organizations.
