Overview
- Municipal data show 52 dengue cases in April and 107 cases from January through April, marking the highest April tally in five years.
- April rainfall reached 30 mm, the most in 18 years, and short, on‑off showers left water standing long enough for Aedes mosquitoes to breed in small containers.
- Entomology teams logged 15,649 mosquito‑breeding detections through May 3, with 15% of those found in the most recent week, including 2,443 fresh larval sites.
- The MCD reports more than 12.15 lakh house visits by May 2, 16,261 legal notices, 1,712 prosecutions, and 358 Guppy‑8 deployments that use larvivorous fish to eat mosquito larvae.
- Officials say weekly anti‑larval spraying, targeted checks at construction sites and schools, fish released at 231 water sites, and public outreach are underway, while malaria stands at 29 cases and chikungunya at five so far this year.
