JHAPA, Oct 15: Dengue fever is fast spreading in Jhapa amid the lack of prevention and control measures. The infection is at its peak in Birtamod, Damak and Mechinagar. The District Public Office (DPO) and municipality offices have expressed sorry over the matter while informing that there is no budget to take necessary steps to bring the disease under control. Only in Birtamod, the government has taken some action to combat the deadly virus.
