During the Dengue epidemic in Delhi I here in pen down my views for the authorities in Delhi to understand and do the needful at the earliest before the virus goes out of control. These days Delhi is engulfed by the Dengue the deadly of the deadliest viruses of the century. Men, women and children are dying of it every day. Most of the hospital beds are full of patients and the owners of the private nursing homes are filling their coffers.
But no one cares to go deep into the cause of the spread of the disease. If the corporation of Delhi looks around the walls of Delhi it will surly find the main cause of the breeding of the deadly Mosquitos which are responsible to spread Dengue virus in and around Delhi. I, while travelling by train from Delhi to Lucknow saw many places where rain water accumulated like a pond to make these as a breeding places for the Mosquitos. If the authorities do want to control the virus from further spreading they have to clean the ponds at a war footing. If it is not done soon, Delhi may face more deaths in the coming months. I request the authorities to start cleaning the infested areas at the earliest.
