Prime Minister Tarique Rahman has called on citizens to take preventive measures against dengue and chikungunya through a special video message released on Wednesday. He warned that both diseases have become serious threats to public health but emphasized that awareness and early prevention can protect people from infection. Experts noted that Aedes mosquitoes transmit these diseases, making proactive control essential.
The Prime Minister explained that although dengue outbreaks are most common from June to October, infections can occur at any time. He urged people to prevent water from accumulating in containers such as drains, flower pots, buckets, and discarded tires, and to keep water tanks covered. He also announced a nationwide cleanliness campaign starting March 14, to be conducted weekly, with members of parliament and local representatives encouraged to lead community cleaning efforts every Saturday.
Rahman reiterated that the government’s health policy prioritizes prevention over treatment and reminded citizens that cleanliness and awareness remain the most effective defenses against mosquito-borne diseases.
