Title : Spread of Dengue and Malaria in the country.
SHRI ADHIR CHOWDHURY (BERHAMPORE, WEST BENGAL): Sir, the outbreak of dengu and malaria has become a perennial phenomenon in our country and this year also large parts of our country have been affected by the outbreak of malaria and dengu. A number of cases have been reported in the State of West Bengal also and already a number of people have died due to the impact of dengu and malaria. It is disconcerting to note that while the Central Government is sincere to deal with the situation. However, in the grass root level due to lack of knowledge and inefficiency of implementing agencies, the desired result is not being yielded.
So, I would request through you, Sir to the concerned hon. Minister that in cooperation with all the concerned State Governments, a comprehensive measure should be adopted[R20] . The people should get relief from being infected by Dengu and Malaria. The metropolitan cities are also not being left unscathed. It is reported that Delhi has been infected by Dengu and Malaria. Therefore, urgent steps are required to be taken to deal with this unbecoming situation.
