Dengue cases witness a huge rise in Hyderabad:- A sudden rise in dengue cases in the city is raising concerns. In 2022 Telangana has reported 8,756 cases of Dengue and the officials are expecting the same number this year as well. But this year Dengue cases are being registered very early and Hyderabad already reported the majority of cases.

Osmania General Hospital and Primary Health centres are seeing many viral cases. Neighbouring districts like Bhadrachalam, Ibrahimpatnam, Ranga Reddy, Khammam and Warangal are seeing sporadic cases. Gandhi Hospital has registered 2500 outpatients, most of them with fever. Most of the cases are from the Old City of Hyderabad. By considering the current scenario, Doctors are expecting a sudden rise of cases in July.

Hyderabad district congress committee (DCC) president Sameer Waliullah has criticized GHMC and AIMIM MLAs and corporators for their negligence in taking precautionary measures before the monsoon arises. Sameer said that GHMC has yet to fog and start spray operations in the old city, where we can spot many water cloggings with rainwater. This might spread several diseases including viral fever. He also demanded medical camps and asked to create awareness as a prevention for rain-related diseases. He also asked to supply testing kits in the Old City. The sudden surge of Dengue cases is worrying GHMC.
