The anti-dengue fumigation drive to curb breeding sites for mosquitoes comes amid a dengue outbreak in New Delhi. The number of cases reported has reached 25,000 across India, according to Indian civic officials. The real figure, however, is believed to be hundreds of times higher, said the BBC. The authorities have demanded that all government doctors not take leave until the outbreak subsides, which analysts believe will not happen for weeks until the first winter chill kills off the mosquitoes carrying the dengue virus.
