The dengue has not only reached an alarming stage, it has become epidemic which could turn into a catastrophe without boundaries. The province of Punjab has been bitten hard by the dengue virus but it is a problem for the whole Pakistan.
A large number of people falling prey to dengue have lost their precious lives in the country. It is the prime duty of any city government to ensure proper working of garbage collection and flow of sewerage water and effluents within its boundaries.
It is unfortunate that there have been neither proper guidelines for the public issued from the government nor timely preventive measures taken to control the disease before it spread. And hence there is no decrease in mosquitoes’ armies. It is time the government did its job.
