for the control of dengue in the provincial capital.

Furthermore, he stated that they expected a high death toll due to vicious dengue attack in Lahore, thanks to the efforts of Sri Lankan team of dengue experts, premedical staff, hospitals and nurses, who have had played a critical role in the control of
dengue up to now.

Hopefully, there will be a drastic deficiency in the dengue epidemic up to the month of December, 2011.
