    It is understood that viral fever and dengue have triggered huge rush in hospitals. Another security guard said there are many dengue patients hospitalised. However, a hospital staff authorized to speak with the media said there is rush as patients are coming due to viral fever and dengue. It has been observed that many patients platelet is low but their results are not negative. Some dengue patients are hosptialised also.

    A Johri Farm-based homeopathy doctor said in the last few days he too has seen many patients coming to him with viral fever symptoms.
