" With Delhi reporting 35 new cases of dengue on Sunday, the total number of victims of the vector-borne diseases has now reached 419. The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has blamed intermittent rains for the rise. "This is the season for vector-borne diseases but we are taking all the necessary action," a senior MCD official said.

On Saturday, Delhi reported 36 new cases, the highest in a day for this season.
