Calcutta HC directs West Bengal govt to file report on action taken to combat dengue menace

-PTI

Kolkata: The Calcutta High Court directed the West Bengal government on Friday to file an action taken report on the dengue menace that has affected a large number of people in the state.

A division bench comprising acting Chief Justice Jyotirmoy Bhattacharya and Justice Arijit Banerjee directed the state government to submit the report by coming Friday when a set of PILs seeking steps to control the vector-borne disease and compensation to the kin of those who died of dengue in the state would be heard again.

The bench directed the government to state the preventive and remedial measures taken by it to deal with the dengue menace that has mainly affected some southern districts and the metropolis.

At least three PILs were moved before the high court seeking immediate steps to deal with the situation.

One of the PILs prayed for the appointment of a medical commission to suggest preventive measures for dengue in West Bengal and monetary compensation to the heirs of those who died of the disease.

Claiming that the vector-borne disease had nearly reached "epidemic proportions" in some parts of the state, including Kolkata, petitioner Anindya Sundar Das prayed for a direction to the authorities concerned to formulate strategies for proper implementation of the National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme (NVBDCP).
