“Twenty-one more patients tested positive for the virus today; it takes the number of afflicted persons to 209 this season,” MCD’s health committee chairman V K Monga said. While five fresh cases were reported from Rohini, three each were found in Shahadra, Civil Lines and South Delhi. The remaining cases were detected from Narela, Najafgarh and West Delhi.
This comes at a time when 2,500 mosquito-breeding checking employees are on strike. The workers, employed with MCD on contract basis, are demanding regularisation of their jobs. “It is still not an epidemic situation as cases are expected to peak during this time of the year,” Monga said.
