    Chief Medical Officer of Health of the Colombo Municipal Council Dr. Ruwan Wijemuni said legal action will be instituted against 79 persons who had been maintaining dengue breeding grounds in their premises. He revealed that when about 100 houses were examined, they found at least 12 which maintained mosquito breeding grounds. This was a serious issue.
