Dengue has killed more than 5000 Indians - eventually millions can be affected - why is the Government so quiet?

Despite government claims about intensive awareness and cleanliness drives, dengue cases continue to soar in the country with the death toll touching 102 and 161 fresh cases being reported, taking the total number of those afflicted with the disease to 5,036.

This may be a signal India has grown too fast and beyond its infrastructure capabilities. The population density has approached destabilization in sanitation and health issues.

Lack of planning has caused the problem, according to experts.

The government said they are providing support to the 16 dengue-affected states, which includes insecticides, larvicides as well as monetary help. After Delhi, the maximum deaths have been reported from Maharashtra where 22 people have died of the viral fever, while 240 cases have been reported.
