During hearing of an application about the spread of the dengue virus here Friday, the CJ said that the responsible behind the dengue pandemic would be made an example. He instructed the DCO Lahore and Secretary Health Punjab to present a report by 23rd September as to what measures have been taken to control the spread. The court also said that details be provided at the next hearing on 23rd September about the areas where spray has been done.
