22-year-old youth dies of dengue fever

LAHORE - Another dengue patient, a 22-year-old youth, died in a local public hospital of the City putting a question mark on the tall claims of the health department and CDG of fighting the said disease. The Directorate General Health Services Punjab officials are yet claiming that the dengue fever is less fatal among the other diseases.

It has been learnt that three dengue patients, including the said 22-year-old youth, have died in the provincial capital so far.

The deceased was identified as Muhammad Aslam, a resident of Badami Bagh. His marriage was fixed in the coming few days. The Badami Bagh is one of the localities where dengue virus was being reported in abundance but the CDG officials paid no attention to fumigate the area.
