    Ghosh and civic workers found accumulated water and Aedes aegypti larvae in the lift shaft of a building under construction on the Jadavpur University campus. Ghosh scolded the masons for allowing water to accumulate and told them to pour diesel on the water to kill the larvae. He also advised university officials to form a committee with civic officials to provide vector control advice, similar to a committee at Calcutta University. At least 20 people contracted dengue on the university campus last year.
