'Also, the BMC's disaster management helpline number 108 will assist people by taking down their complaints and suggestions,' municipal commissioner Swadhin Kshatriya said. In


a bid to arrest increasing cases of malria in the city, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has directed builders to appoint a doctor for medical check ups of migrant workers at


construction sites. "The BMC will ask builders to appoint a doctor wherever development work or construction activity is being undertaken. These doctors will be asked to check migrant


workers per day per hour at the site," municipal commissioner Swadhin Kshatriya said. "Also, the BMC's disaster management helpline number 108 will assist people by taking


down their complaints and suggestions," Kshatriya said. Mumbai has about 2,500 construction sites with 2.5 lakh labourers working on them. "We will issue health cards from tomorrow


so that we can keep track of them as they always live in groups and are on the move," Kshatriya said. BMC also informed that 20,000 mosquito nets will be distributed through a private


company in the slum areas.
