Summary:
The recorded number of dengue cases has grown considerably ever since the civic body began collating data from private hospitals. Last August, it was revealed that the number of dengue cases in the city had more than doubled. Earlier, the PMC would collect disease data only from the government-run Sassoon hospital and PMC-run health centres.Meanwhile, at Sahyadri Farm s, normal life remains disrupted. As many as 70 persons have tested positive for dengue in the city so far this year. When I rang up officials, I was told collection of sewage here was becaused of drainage water that had been released upstream..
