GHMC Reports 30% Drop in Dengue Cases
The GHMC in Hyderabad announced that there were 30% fewer dengue cases this year compared to last year.

The GHMC also gave money to self-help groups, including groups for transgender people, to help them start their own businesses.
They also gave hearing aids, walking sticks, and wheelchairs to nine people who needed them.
The central government praised the GHMC for their work.

Dengue cases fell from 2,806 to 1,976 due to targeted interventions and surveillance.

Loans worth ₹19.5 lakh were sanctioned to four transgender SHGs.
Financial assistance of ₹3.07 crore was extended to 47 women, including six transgender persons.
