Via Hindustan Times :
" With 23 new cases reported from the city on Thursday, the total number of people affected with dengue fever this year has touched 820. Five people, including a one-and-a-half-year-old boy, have succumbed to the disease so far this season, the latest being on October 14 when a 28-year-old woman died due to dengue hemorrhagic fever at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital.
Though the authorities had anticipated the dengue figures to cross 800 this year, what has come as a surprise for them is the spurt in the number of chikungunya cases.
With 10 more cases of the mosquito-borne disease reported on Thursday, the total number of people affected with the disease has reached 54 so far this year."
