Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives Minister and BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has directed all relevant institutions to work in a coordinated manner to combat dengue. He emphasized that public awareness and active participation are essential alongside government initiatives. The first meeting of the National Committee on Prevention of Dengue and Other Mosquito-Borne Diseases was held on Tuesday at the ministry, chaired by Mirza Fakhrul. The meeting decided to form a taskforce under State Minister Mir Shah Alam to oversee field-level dengue prevention activities.
The committee, recently restructured to make government efforts more coordinated and effective, includes representatives from various ministries, departments, and agencies. Key decisions from the meeting include mass distribution of awareness leaflets, school-based campaigns, intensified cleanliness drives, regular inspection of mosquito control quality, and special operations to destroy Aedes breeding sites. Media and social media awareness efforts will also be strengthened.
Officials stressed the need for early and integrated preparations ahead of the monsoon season, with a focus on rapid implementation of decisions, increased field activity, and adequate manpower to curb dengue spread.
