Bengaluru is facing a significant rise in dengue cases, with two suspected dengue deaths reported recently. Despite efforts by Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao to ensure zero dengue deaths, the city has recorded its first dengue death this year. The increase in dengue cases has led to higher demand for platelets at local blood banks. Additionally, residents are concerned about neglected vacant sites contributing to the rise in dengue cases, as the civic body struggles to enforce property maintenance.

Vacant site is a hell next door for many in #Bengaluru. With intermittent rains and rising dengue cases, residents living next to neglected sites are a lot worried but the civic body is unable to ensure the property owners keep them clean. #BBMP https://t.co/jI0ZvgLc0f
