The North Delhi Municipal Corporation has cancelled all leave of its malaria department employees in view of rising dengue cases, an official said Wednesday.
"No leave of any kind including Sundays will be allowed to the staff," health officer A.K. Bansal said. "They can take compensatory leave later."
