Kumar during a review meeting with senior officials directed the authorities concerned to take all required measures to check the spread of Dengue cases in Bihar.
The number of Dengue cases had increased recently, he noted.
"Number of beds in hospitals for Dengue patients should be increased to handle a large number of cases being reported from various parts of the state, particularly in Patna," the Chief Minister said adding that fogging and spraying of chemicals should be done on regular basis without any laxity to check the spread of Dengue cases in the state.
Availability of platelets, an important component of the treatment of Dengue cases, should be ensured in government hospitals and blood banks, he added.
