The Congress party is carrying out protests outside Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's residence over the rising cases of dengue in the city.

The surge in dengue cases in the national capital have led to a serious space crunch in government hospitals with a facility in east Delhi operating a fever clinic from the driver's room while another prominent hospital has emptied its ortho and eye wards to accommodate patients.

Battling to provide treatment to the increasing number of patients pouring in at government facilities, hospitals such as Ram Manohar Lohia have asked patients to share beds with saline in many cases being administered to patients on the stretcher itself.
