Another death due to dengue in the city of Kolkata. Sushmita Dutta, a resident of Ward No. 118 in Behala, was admitted to a nursing home in Lansdowne since August 31. He died on Saturday. Municipality’s statement is that Sushmita died of cerebral attack and not dengue. The municipality informed that the thirty-three-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital last Thursday due to physical illness. He was being treated there. The blood pressure was very high. He died of a cerebral attack on Saturday.
Even though he was infected with dengue, it was a secondary infection, the municipality claimed. However, according to hospital sources, dengue is the cause of his death. Sushmita’s family members at Sheetalatla Road in Belahar are mourning the death of Sushmita. Dengue outbreak is increasing in Kolkata as well as across the state as the monsoon increases.
Recently Kolkata Municipality has sent a notice to Lalbazar warning about dengue suppression. The administration has already taken several steps to prevent dengue. Rural and primary health centers have also been alerted. Separate teams have been formed for house-to-house inspection and mosquito control in the area.
During the dengue season, Calcutta Municipality’s thought is the garden on both sides of the road. The city has been planted with bamboo fences from north to south. Most trees are planted on Ballygunge Circular Road, Amherst Street, SN Banerjee Road. The larvae of dengue fever mosquitoes are crawling in the bamboo fences surrounded by the afforestation project.
