Other places where breeding of mosquitoes were found include Lady Hardinge Hospital, RML Hospital, Paryavaran Bhawan, Meghdoot Bhawan, Sanchar Bhawan, Baroda House, Kashmir House, Red Cross Society and Shivaji Stadium, the NDMC said.

Challans have been issued to 12 of them including Vardhman Medical College-Safdarjung Hospital, DG Office Civil Aviation, Akashwani Bhawan and Laxmi builders (AIIMS premises).

“A total of 1,365 notices have been issued so far after mosquitogenic conditions were spotted by our inspection team,” a senior NDMC official said. 

Last year, NDMC had issued over 125 notices to the President’s Estate after “heavy” mosquito-breeding was found at various places on its sprawling campus. However, the officials say the situation has “improved” this year.

 According to municipal reports, at least 28 cases of dengue have been reported in the national Capital with 15 of them in June.
