The capital today reported a fresh dengue death and 75 new cases. With this, the total number of people affected with the disease has gone up to 1370. Even while the dengue cases are on the rise, nearly 1600 mosquito breeding checkers went on strike demanding regularisation of jobs. The MCD again warned the domestic breeding checkers that those not returning to work may face termination of services. However, officials admit that this action may also lead to a temporary manpower crunch as the process of appointing new such workers may take at least four to five days. Chairman of MCD Public Health Committee V K Monga said they will wait for another day to allow them to return to work before taking a decision on terminating their services. The issue of rising number of dengue cases was discussedat a meeting of Municipal Corporation of Delhi where memberscutting across party lines expressed concern over the issue.
