Dear Sir, a quick question over Swine Flu. Unfortunately, there is a foul drainage gutter completely in cogged condition in our area. Local body doesn't seem to be understanding its severity. Will it also be a reason for possible swine flu attack through inhaling virus particles this may emit through foul smell? Thanks in advance for your valuable reply.
