Arvind Kejriwal, the chief minister, has called a meeting for today at noon at the Delhi Secretariat due to an alarming increase in dengue cases that have been reported in the wake of recent floods. The purpose of the meeting is to come up with a comprehensive plan to deal with the rising dengue cases that have engulfed the city in recent weeks. To address the urgent situation, Mayor Shelly Oberoi, Health Minister Saurabh Bhardwaj, and representatives from the relevant departments will be present.
The prevalence of dengue and malaria has increased as the monsoon rains continue to batter the area, which has an impact on the health and wellbeing of many locals. Health authorities are extremely concerned as a result of the 51 dengue cases that have been reported in Delhi over the past two weeks. By providing favorable breeding grounds for disease-carrying mosquitoes, the devastating floods may have made things worse. It is believed that stagnant water and unclean conditions are the best conditions for the mosquito population to grow and flourish.
