Bhubaneswar: Union Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare Faggan Singh Kulaste charged the Odisha government with failing to control the dengue outbreak in various parts of the state.
He, however, assured that a Central team would soon visit the affected areas of the state to take stock of the situation and take steps to contain the situation.
“The state government should have taken precautionary measures to avoid such an outbreak. It should take care of the situation now and do the necessary to address the issue. Somewhere or other it has failed to tackle it,” said Kulaste, who visited the SCB Medical College and Hospital in Cuttack and interacted with the dengue patients and doctors.
