Mohammad Selim Uddin, the Dhaka North city chief of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, has called for immediate action to make Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) mosquito-free within three days. Speaking as the chief guest at a human chain organized by the Citizens Development Forum in Uttara West, he urged the city administration to transfer authority to elected representatives and take urgent steps to ensure a clean and healthy city during the holy month of Ramadan.

Selim Uddin criticized the DNCC administration for negligence and irregularities that have turned the city into a breeding ground for mosquitoes. He said the lack of effective monitoring and action has caused unbearable stench and suffering for residents, particularly fasting Muslims. He urged the new DNCC administrator to take personal initiative, mobilize funds from party workers and citizens, and launch a citywide mosquito eradication campaign.

He emphasized that cleanliness is a part of faith and that the current state of the city is disrupting religious observances during Ramadan. He assured that Jamaat members would cooperate with the city administration in this effort.
