Five positive cases of dengue have been reported from across Ghaziabad district so far, health officials said today.
"Thirty suspected dengue patients were examined, out of which five patients were tested positive for the mosquito-borne disease, a senior official of the health department said.
The health department has asked all private and government hospitals in the district to report it on immediate basis if any dengue case is detected at their premises.
"Any dereliction of duty in effectively implementing anti-dengue measures would lead to strict disciplinary action against the defaulting officials," the health officer said.
