India : Rising Dengue cases worry BBMP

Via Deccan Herald, another menace in India, they should stop blaming and start acting :

" Top Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) officials have blamed poor garbage management for the rise of dengue cases in the City.

Garbage collection was initially under the Health Department, but was shifted to the Engineering Department in January 2009. “The garbage carts and autos spill the garbage while travelling and sometimes even dump it on the road side,” said a source.

At the recent BBMP council meeting, a corporator had raised the issue about rise in dengue cases. Under the BBMP limits alone, 152 positive dengue cases have been reported and nearly half the cases were from Bangalore East, mainly Shivajinagar, Neelasandra, Mahadevapura and Bytarayanapura."
