Health Minister Ramesh Kumar plans to hold a meeting with BBMP officials and discuss the issue of fogging and dengue control measures.
Come monsoons, come dengue? In just a month, the city has seen a sudden spurt in the number of dengue cases reported at major hospitals. This monsoon is giving people no reason to enjoy the splash as the cost of treatment is on the rise too. The blame for this should be laid at the doors of BBMP, which has left huge piles of garbage rotting at every street corner, creating a potential breeding ground for mosquitoes. An epidemic is in the making but the city’s top guns are hardly bothered.
Like always , the monsoon has brought the dreaded dengue with it, but this year hospitals are struggling to deal with the number of patients coming to them with the disease being widely reported across Bengaluru. “We have three people down with dengue in our apartment block,” said Mr Mukherjee, 55, of CV Raman Nagar.
