Residents of different localities of the city including Temple Road and Ghousia Colony have denied a Punjab government claimthat a fumigation drive was underway.
According to doctors, prevention from dengue fever is only possible by fumigation and the number of patients will increase if dengue mosquitoes are not killed.
However, a spokesman of the Punjab government said that free diagnostic and treatment for dengue fever was available in all public sector hospitals.
Meanwhile, DCO Lahore Aahid Cheema has ordered to launch a fumigation campaign in all the towns of the city.
