Chattogram City Corporation (CCC) Mayor Dr. Shahadat Hossain stated that the prime minister was misinformed about his planned visit to Florida, United States. He made the comment on Tuesday through a Facebook post, following a viral note from the prime minister suggesting that mosquito control methods could be developed locally without traveling abroad.
In his post titled “Will misinformation and conspiracy ruin the revolutionary potential of mosquito control?”, the mayor explained that since October last year, CCC had been using mosquito larva-killing chemicals from the U.S.-based company Valent BioSciences. To reduce dependency on costly imports, he proposed establishing a joint-venture factory in Bangladesh. Valent BioSciences responded by inviting a delegation led by the mayor to visit its facilities in Chicago and Florida for feasibility assessment, with no expenses to be borne by the government or CCC.
The mayor alleged that a vested group provided false and misleading information to the prime minister, causing uncertainty over the planned visit. A government letter earlier confirmed that the summary for travel approval had been returned without authorization.
