Delhi Government Plans Special Task Force to Combat Dengue and Vector-Borne Diseases

The Delhi government is planning to form a special task force to coordinate efforts against dengue and other vector-borne diseases, following a December 2021 Delhi High Court order urging enhanced preventive measures and accountability. Chaired by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi commissioner, the task force will include health and civic officials to oversee mosquito control, sanitation, surveillance, and public awareness. The initiative aims to strengthen inter-departmental coordination, especially before the monsoon season, to reduce dengue cases across the city.
