IN response to the statement of AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami for his allegation of increasing fever cases including dengue, Health Minister Ma Subramanian on Friday said there is no dengue fever cluster in TN and the opposition leader should show where such spread prevails.

"More dengue fever fatalities were reported only during the tenure of AIADMK. As many as 66 people died of dengue in 2012 and 65 in 2017. It was the highest dengue death in the history of TN. However this year, only six people died due to dengue, and that too in private hospitals due to lack of proper treatment and immunisation. At present, there is no dengue fever in Tamil Nadu and there is no need for any anxiety," Ma Subramanian said.
