In the past months, Bengaluru experienced a significant rise in dengue cases and acute febrile viral illness cases, prompting urgent action from health authorities. The city reported 546 dengue cases in 10 days — between 1 June and 11 June. Doctors attribute this to recent rains, which have led to water stagnation, creating breeding grounds for mosquitoes and the transmission season.
