I am noting an increasing number of dengue cases in Margao/Fatorda areas with implications to residents also from nearby villages. Many people, particularly the elderly, those vulnerable with other health conditions and children are at high risk of the same. Can I request the Goa Health Minister, respective municipalities and local Margao/Fatorda MLAs to please address this medical emergency urgently; and keep people updated on actions taken to mitigate the threat. I also need to remind Goans that reckless real estate development is one key reason for the occurrence of dengue and other serious diseases particularly during the monsoon season.
