India : Delhi dengue cases cross 1,000

Via Times of India :

" NEW DELHI: The dengue menace showed no signs of abating in the national capital where the number of cases crossed 1,000 today with 77 more patients testing positive for the vector-borne disease.

Last year, the number of dengue cases crossed 1,000 only in the month of November.

Of the 1,014 cases so far, 993 have been reported from MCD areas, 115 from NDMC areas and the rest from other parts of the city besides some outstation cases.

The highest number of 167 cases have come from MCD South Zone followed by Central Zone (151) and Rohini (112).

Mayor Prithvi Raj Sawhney has sought people's cooperation in tackling the situation, lamenting that reports have emerged of residents not allowing mosquito breeding checkers to enter their houses."
