In the 77th edition of Monday Review, TOI’s weekly home update of print news from Chandigarh, Mohali, and Panchkula, watch how dengue fever has outpaced coronavirus. After a long fight with Covid-19, the Tricity now has more cases of dengue fever. Panchkula has the maximum cases in Haryana. Haryana’s own official count is at a three-year high, due to a long monsoon. A drought of backup for the health department means there is forecast for a spike. By Saturday, Mohali had 85 new cases of dengue fever, taking the season's total to 1,981 while Panchkula had 26 new cases, taking its total for the season to 422. Mohali has lost 21 patients, while there will be total inspection of all localities, exposed containers, coolers, refrigerators, lawns, and pots of the city for at least two months. All the multi-purpose health workers are on special duty to prevent this vector-borne disease. Single donor platelets (SDPs) are now provided for free in Panchkula, while earlier it cost Rs 8,500. Card-based testing has been banned and only ELISA enzyme-linked immuno-assay tests are allowed. The Centre has issued a health advisory on the hazards of fogging. Reservation of wards for Scheduled Caste and women candidates for the Chandigarh municipal corporation elections due in December has jolted the BJP and Congress bigwigs. Wards of BJP's former mayor Rajesh Kalia, former senior deputy mayor Rajesh Gupta Bittu, former deputy mayor Jagtar Jagga, and councillors Vinod Aggarwal and Shakti Devshali have been reserved, along with the seat of the leader of opposition Devinder Babla of the Congress.
