HYDERABAD, SEPT. 13. The Andhra Pradesh Committee of Students' Federation of India today demanded steps by the Government to prevent spread of dengue fever.

B. Prasad, president, and N. Satish Kumar, secretary, of the federation in a statement issued here wanted the Government to organise special camps for students in hostels as they were likely to be afflicted in large numbers.

They alleged that the norm of conducting weekly health camps by local doctors in hostels was not being followed.

Already two students, Madhar (Khammam district) and Madhavi (Karimnagar) have died of dengue fever, they said.
