Puzzling divergence: Health dept reports 452 dengue cases in Pune; PMC tallies only 22
Pune: The city’s dengue and chikungunya counts show a puzzling divergence between PMC and state health data, with figures quoted by the two agencies differing drastically. While the state figures paint a worrying picture for the city, the civic body's numbers remain significantly lower.
Between Jan 1 and July 14, the state reported 452 confirmed dengue cases within the PMC’s jurisdiction—the second-highest among all civic bodies in Maharashtra. Yet, the PMC’s own tally lists only 22 confirmed and 540 suspected dengue cases as of July 24. The Mumbai civic body leads the state with 938 confirmed cases, while Thane stands in third place with 176.
