00:30is basically to give an awareness
00:33and some stringent orders for the publics
00:36in order to control the mosquitoes.
00:38Basically, they will go on to put a fine
00:40for the publics who are not managing
00:43the mosquito breeding places properly.
00:45That is the thing.
00:46And the second thing is the caseload.
00:48We are getting the reduced caseloads.
00:51Day by day, we are getting less number of cases.
00:54Yeah, migrant labors and we are getting
00:56the mild forms of cases.
00:57Earlier days, we used to get the severe forms
00:59of increasing cases.
01:01What we are admitting here is the cases
01:03of very low platelet counts
01:05and the warning signs, danger signs,
01:07which we are calling the increase in blood pressures
01:10and patient is having severe vomiting and dehydrations.
01:13Those patients which we are admitting,
01:15the mild forms, just we put a OPD-based treatment.
01:18We used to follow the cases.
01:20We used to ask the patients to come for the follow-up.
01:22We used to, daily, we used to monitor the platelet.
01:24Those who are getting less platelet
01:26with bleeding tendencies,
01:27we used to admit to the inpatients.
01:29It's mostly the labor or construction people
01:31which are what we are getting the patient types.
01:33The major thing is to, they have to,
01:36the publics or the construction workers
01:38or the owners of the construction area
01:41has to maintain that area is very clean
01:44and they should avoid the mosquito-breeding places
01:46and they should avoid the stagnant waters.
01:49Rengu is an epidemic only because it is,
01:52you know, spread all across Karnataka
01:55and we have used this notification
01:57so that our officers can be, you know, more alert
02:02and anybody, they get some additional powers.
02:06Right now, what had happened was
02:08just the Bangalore City Corporation
02:10and Bangalore City Corporation,
02:12using their civic laws,
02:13they were enforcing certain actions
02:16against people who are violating norms,
02:19repeated violators.
02:22So now, through this notification,
02:26we've given powers to all our deputy commissioners
02:28at the district level.
02:30They become the competent authority
02:31and they can enforce, you know, certain strict measures
02:35in case people start, you know,
02:40start doing things which they're not supposed to do,
02:42especially in terms of, you know,
02:44allowing stagnation of water
02:46and excessive breeding of mosquitoes.
02:48And even if we warn them,
02:50if they don't take necessary steps,
02:52then we can, you know,
02:53in fact, even put some fines on them
02:55and it just empowers them a little bit more.
02:58Though Dengue cases are coming down right now,
03:00it is not that it is a cause of any serious worry,
03:04but we want to be cautious till the rains subside
03:07and the monsoons are over.
03:09So till at least October month,
03:11we want to be more careful about it.
03:14It's not alarming,
03:15just that, you know,
03:16it is just a simple notification
03:18just empowering our officers more.
03:21In fact, I think we have crossed the peak of Dengue,
03:25but we're just empowering our people, that's all.
03:27So nothing to people to get worried
03:28or getting any to be stressed out on this issue.
