Helpline Number Activated Amid Reported Dengue Outbreak: Nagpur Civic Body Tells Bombay HC

The Nagpur civic body has recently told the Bombay High Court that it has activated a helpline number amid a reported outbreak of dengue in the city as directed earlier.

Previously on September 14, the Nagpur bench of the HC directed the city municipal corporation to provide a helpline number for enabling citizens to seek assistance for dengue.

Earlier, a PIL was filed by a social worker in this regard.

In the previous hearing, the NMC submitted that activities such as fogging and other measures to prevent outbreak of dengue are being undertaken.
