Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) has identified 28 out of its 75 wards as high-risk areas for dengue transmission, according to DSCC Administrator Freedom Fighter Md. Abdus Salam. He announced that a weeklong special 'crash program' will begin Sunday to combat dengue in these wards. The declaration came during the inauguration of a special anti-dengue campaign at Rabindra Sarobar in the capital, attended by Health and Family Welfare Minister Sardar Md. Shakhawat Hossain as chief guest.
The event marked the formal launch of a three-month nationwide campaign led by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare to raise awareness, destroy Aedes mosquito breeding sites, and ensure a clean environment. Speakers emphasized that personal and family awareness is essential, urging citizens to keep homes, rooftops, and surroundings clean and free of stagnant water.
Minister Shakhawat Hossain stated that extensive awareness campaigns, including public announcements, are starting immediately. He warned that mobile courts will impose maximum fines wherever Aedes larvae are found. The minister also noted that the Prime Minister had alerted authorities two months earlier, prompting joint preparations by city corporations and the health department.
