It also said the Indira Gandhi Government Medical College hospital should treat the cases of dengue at their level and not refer it to the Indira Gandhi Government General Hospital.     

'Elective surgery' cases can be cancelled and dengue patients be admitted to those beds, it added. The release further said since open dumping of garbage would be a source of mosquito breeding, the provisions for collecting fine from the defaulters should also be implemented.
