Dengue

There are no signs of bug killing sprays in any of the areas

KARACHI: In Karachi as the dengue cases hit frightening numbers there is yet no sign of a movement by the authorities in opposition to what can be called a menacing crisis. As per the recent Dengue Surveillance Cell report, the number of dengue fever cases was no less than 11,520. As a citizen, an observer and a patriot, it is depressing to watch the people suffer. As the city endures in pain and agony, the authorities are sleeping and no action is being taken. There are no signs of bug killing sprays in any of the areas. God knows what’s happening here.
