Chikungunya, dengue in Delhi: Failure of govt agencies, health officials and civic apathy are responsible

Firstpost  

Kejriwal is not the only one to be blamed for failing Delhi. Even if Kejriwal has limited powers to run Delhi — and this is actually true since the court ruled L-G Najeeb Jung, who, incidentally, is also out of station, is the administrative head — it is the CM’s responsibility to ensure that people who voted for him do not suffer because of administrative lapses and inefficiencies. The ongoing viral epidemic in Delhi is in fact a damning indictment of the failure of civic agencies, health officials and the so-called Swachh Bharat Abhiyan launched with a lot of fanfare by the Central government two years ago. As this report in the Hindustan Times points out, between 1-2 lakh Delhi households, including the Rashtrapati Bhavan, breed mosquitoes in their backyards. “A report prepared jointly by South Delhi Municipal Corporation, East Delhi Municipal Corporation and North Delhi Municipal Corporation said that the domestic breeding checkers visited 15 lakh houses between 1 January and 10 September 10 this year and every 15th house was found to have water stagnated in Feng Shui plants, petri dishes, vessels under planters, defrost trays of refrigerators, coolers and overhead tanks where mosquitoes were breeding,” according to Hindustan Times.
