There is was an outbreak of dengue in UP. Now, the disease seems to spread in the capital, Delhi as well.

In fact, 124 dengue cases have been reported in Delhi this year. Compared to last year, only 96 dengue cases were reported in Delhi. Similarly, 57 cases of malaria and 37 cases of chikungunya were registered.

The Municipal Corporation of Delhi data is showing that about 55 percent of these cases are dengue cases, in which the patient has not been traced by the Corporation so far.

Whereas, Chhail Bihari Goswami of North Delhi Municipal Corporation says that along with distributing awareness pamphlets among the people, fines will also be speeded up. Similarly, if we look at the trend for many years, dengue cases increase after the rainy season in Delhi. A well-known agency says that 55 dengue cases were reported from January to early August this year. This was followed by an increase in dengue cases in the next month.

Not a single dengue case was reportedly reported in January, two cases were reported in February, five on March, 10 on April, 12 on May, 7 in June, and 16 in July.

Subsequently, in 2018, the cases came down to 64, while in 2019, only 47 dengue cases were reported.
