As many as 10,013 cases of dengue have been registered across the country alone in this ongoing year. Punjab, however, tops with 2,361 patients. Sindh has 2,258 while there are 1,814 from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and 1,772 from Balochistan.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), dengue is the world’s fastest spreading vector-borne viral ailment. So if immediate measures are not taken against the life-threatening dengue mosquito it will spread widely in the country and affect a large number of people.
