The district has so far this year recorded a little over 700 confirmed cases of dengue, with more than 70% of these cases reported in the past two and a half months, registering a sudden spurt in dengue cases in the past couple of weeks.
The total number of dengue cases this year has increased multifold when compared to 23 cases reported last year, when the district grappled with the outbreak of COVID-19.
A staggering number of 1972 dengue cases were reported in the district in 2019. The district recorded the highest number of dengue cases in the entire State during 2019, triggering demands for declaration of health emergency from various quarters, sources said.
Everyone talks about the Airport Metro, but one look at the pillars and completion seems nowhere in sight.

This dedicated corridor with its specialised coaches will link the airport to vast stretches of Bengaluru, where the metro connection is still years away.
