Dengue cases have increased in Nashik after heavy rainfall.
In July, 33 people were recorded as having dengue.
This was much higher than the eight cases recorded in June.

These places included some government offices.
People are being asked to remove standing water near their homes.
They should also see a doctor quickly if they notice dengue symptoms.
