Via Sindh Today, Delhi deals with another threat, this time it's dengue :
" New Delhi, July 4 : Dengue has arrived in the capital, and well before its time. With two cases confirmed and some others being reported, the dengue virus-carrying mosquitoe’s bite is giving the administration worrying moments.
Officials say the heavy digging work around the city for the Commonwealth Games and accumulation of water at homes may be responsible for breeding of the Aedes mosquito earlier this year. Dengue usually hits the capital after the monsoon season, when the mosquitoes breed in stagnant water after the rains.
Two cases were reported in the last week of June.
“It is the first report of dengue in the national capital this year. Dengue has struck before season. June is not the month for expecting the disease, it is a big cause for worry,” Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) Chief Medical Officer N.K. Yadav told IANS."
