Dengue outbreak in West Bengal is grave but under control, says CM
West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari has described the current dengue outbreak as a serious matter, though he emphasized that there is no cause for alarm and advised the public to remain calm. He noted that approximately 4,000 cases have been recorded up to August 2026, which is a decrease from the 7,600 cases documented during the same timeframe last year. The state administration plans to keep a close watch on the situation through November and will offer complimentary dengue testing to ensure early diagnosis.
