Parliamentarians have drawn the government's attention to immediately stem the dengue outbreak at the House of Representatives meeting on September 7.

Putting his view during the zero hour, HoR member Prakash Man Singh demanded that the government promptly control dengue and cholera that are taking their toll across the country.

Stating that the viral infection has spread to 71 districts, Parliamentarian Dev Prasad Timilsina urged the government to manage free treatment for dengue patients and free mosquito nets for impoverished people.

Similarly, Nawaraj Silwal drew the government's attention to 'human trafficking taking place due to the visit-visa grants' while asking for proper management and stopping 'illegal activities' at the Tribhuvan International Airport. -RSS
