Municipal corporations were directed to send dengue control staff to prevent larval breeding: Saurabh Bharadwaj

New Delhi: In response to the growing threat of dengue in Delhi, Health Minister Saurabh Bhardwaj on Tuesday stated that all municipal corporations (MCDs) have been directed to send dengue control workers door-to-door to prevent mosquito larvae breeding. In Delhi, 105 additional dengue cases have been reported, bringing the total number of patients to 350. According to Saurabh Bhardwaj, hospitals have set aside 5% of their beds for dengue patients. He stated that we had requested that special arrangements be made with the hospitals.

"MCD, Delhi Cantonment Board, and NDMC have been asked to send house-to-house checkers to check for larvae," Bhardwaj added. At the same time, Bhardwaj made a comment about the advertisement's non-printing. He stated, without naming anyone, that "we are trying to raise awareness with the advertisement and we also informed the department about this, but it was not released intentionally by the department." I believe this is also a plot to keep people unaware.

Minister Saurabh Bhardwaj stated that despite his repeated statements, adverts are not being published in newspapers or on television. He explained why officers are conspiring and why no action is being performed against them. In Delhi, 243 instances of dengue, a mosquito-borne disease, had been reported as of July 28. According to a new report issued by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, this number has risen to 348 as of August 5. According to the report, 85 instances of malaria were documented between January 1 and August 5. In July, there were 121 dengue cases, 40 in June, and 23 in May. According to reports, all 105 new instances were registered in August.
