Description
Summary:	During 1980's a new project of the National Thermal Power Cor- poration (NTPC) was setup in this area to meet the de- mand for power supply in the National Capital Region without the health impact assessment. Earlier studies have incriminated An. fluviatilis as one of the malaria vectors in Terai area12.\n fluviatilis in the NTPC command area suggests that health impact assessment of development projects should be undertaken to prevent creation of mosquitogenic conditions in malaria endemic areas.
