Telangana High Court on Tuesday directed the State government to prepare an action plan to tackle the outbreak of viral fevers, especially dengue, without waiting for any specific orders from the court.
A bench of Acting Chief Justice M.S. Ramachandra Rao and Justice T. Vinod Kumar, while hearing a taken-up PIL petition on the spread of viral fevers in the State, sought suggestions from the petitioner’s counsel and others on the measures to be taken to check viral fevers.
Observing that the affidavit filed by GHMC Commissioner in the matter was “somewhat vague”, the Acting CJ said the court wanted specific action plan and not general statements. Senior counsel S. Niranjan Reddy, who was appointed as amicus curiae in the plea, said the HC had already given an order in 2019 in a similar matter.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
