The petitioner's lawyer Idris Ali claimed before a division bench comprising Justice K J Sengupta and Justice Sanjib Banerjee that in a similar petition last year, the High Court had given some directives to prevent such diseases.
Ali said that as per the court's earlier order, fogging machines were to be used for killing mosquitos, prompt blood tests to be made for people suffering from fever and areas kept clean and dry.
These directives were not followed by the KMC and the state government, Ali claimed.
The bench directed that notice be served on the state government and KMC.
