The government of Bangladesh has decided to form a special taskforce under the supervision of State Minister for Local Government Mir Shah Alam to intensify field-level activities for preventing dengue and other mosquito-borne diseases. The decision was taken on June 23, 2026, at the first meeting of the National Committee on the Prevention of Dengue and Other Mosquito-Borne Diseases, held at the Secretariat and chaired by Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives Minister Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir. The taskforce will oversee, coordinate, and implement urgent measures across relevant agencies.
The meeting emphasized coordinated action among government and non-government institutions, including city corporations, municipalities, and district councils. Several key decisions were adopted, such as distributing awareness materials, engaging schools and communities in prevention campaigns, strengthening cleanliness drives, monitoring mosquito control quality, and identifying and destroying breeding sites. Media and social media awareness efforts will also be expanded.
Participants stressed the need for immediate and coordinated preparations ahead of the monsoon season, highlighting the importance of accelerating field operations and ensuring adequate manpower to implement the committee’s decisions effectively.
