Struggle to reduce cases in 6 districts

The Bengal health department is finding it tough to pull down the dengue positivity rate to under 10 per cent in at least six districts, including Calcutta, because of the paucity of civic and rural workers with the skill to track and destroy mosquito breeding pockets.

Among Bengal districts, the dengue positivity rate this week is the highest in Calcutta, followed by Jalpaiguri, Hooghly, Kalimpong, Alipurduar and Malda. 

The overall positivity rate in the state this week is 12.7 per cent.

“We are working hard to bring down the dengue positivity rate within a fortnight in at least six districts where the count is high. However, meeting the target has become a challenge as vector-control measures are not up to the mark because of the lack of civic workers with the skill to detect the breeding sources of the dengue-spreading aedes aegypti mosquitoes,” said a senior health official.

The Bengal government has already directed its officials to curb the surge in dengue cases at a time Opposition parties, including the BJP and the Congress, have hit the roads to “showcase the administration’s shortcomings in controlling dengue”.
