Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) Administrator Md. Shafiqul Islam Khan has directed mosquito control workers to perform their duties with maximum sincerity and commitment to strengthen mosquito control activities in the city. Speaking at the inauguration of a two-day training on Integrated Vector Management (IVM) and basic pest control strategies at Gulshan Nagar Bhaban on Monday, he emphasized that citizens should not have grounds to blame the authorities when walking on the streets.

He highlighted the importance of practical knowledge over theoretical understanding and said that strong commitment and continuous effort could bring the city closer to its mosquito control goals. The administrator noted that effective mosquito control depends largely on field-level workers and is closely linked to waste management, which DNCC is also intensifying. He announced that workers showing good performance would be rewarded by the corporation.

The event was chaired by DNCC Chief Health Officer Brigadier General Imrul Kayes Chowdhury, who said the training would enhance participants’ practical skills. Entomologist Dr. Kabirul Bashar added that commitment, collaboration, and cooperation are key to effective mosquito control.
