Abstract
This commentary is about how a paper published in the Cities & Health was used in the Hon'ble Delhi High Court in an ongoing suo-moto petition to prevent mosquito infestation in the capital of India. The Court took cognisance of the rising density of mosquitoes and the rise in cases of mosquito-borne illness and instructed the various local government agencies to take action. One of the authors of this commentary intervened in this matter and brought the Court's attention to the built environment interventions, especially screening of doors and windows and integrating the same in Unified Building Bye-laws, 2016.
