In wake of the rising cases of dengue in the national capital, the Delhi Government on Monday cancelled leaves of all doctors and para-medical staff.

Earlier, the government had launched helpline number 011-23307145 to assist the dengue patients here.

The Central Government has also asked the Delhi Government to increase the bed strength in the hospitals and to initiate action against the private hospitals, which are over charging the patients.

The Delhi Government had issued notices to two private hospitals after the parents of a seven-year-old boy, who died of dengue on Tuesday, committed suicide as they failed to get him admitted to a hospital in time.

 

The couple's son died after allegedly being denied admission at two prominent private hospitals.
