Santanu Sen’s Question on suitable measures to control dengue, chikungunya and COVID-19

Sir, while discussing Dengue, Chikungunya and COVID, by now, you all know that these are multi-system diseases. The cause, prevalence and handling modalities of these diseases are not same in all States. So, Sir, through you, my supplementary to the learned Minister is: Why don’t we give due importance to cooperative federalism and instead
of imposing any Central directive, why cannot we speak to States individually, so far as individual diseases are concerned, and take necessary steps accordingly?
