Dr. Sanjeev Wavare, assistant head of health said that before July, April reported cases of the highest dengue fever in PMC with 42 positive test citizens at that time.

We have strictly increased publishing notice to places where breeding places were found as in the rainy season increased. We have seen that the Chikungunya case is relatively low this year. However, if the place to multiply is present, the threat of dengue fever and chikungunya remains. Therefore, we take strict action against those who do not eliminate stagnant water from commercial and housing communities, “said Dr. Wavare.

The Pune District has reported the highest cases of dengue fever and chikungunya in Maharashtra until the last June.
