Advisor to the Ministry of Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives and Ministry of Land. F. Hasan Arif said, we all know about the problem of dengue. It is practiced every year. Whenever dengue is on the rise, we make noise. Show various activities. But, if steps are taken from the beginning, every one of us is aware from the beginning, then dengue transmission will be reduced.
The adviser said these things while talking to the journalists present during the inspection of larva siding and cleaning activities in Nawab Sirajuddaula Park and Ahmed Bawani Academy School and College area of Old Dhaka’s Nayabazar on Tuesday morning.
He said that the number of deaths in dengue is low, there is nothing to express satisfaction about it. Contagion is our concern. We need to pay more attention to this. Two things should be taken care of to prevent infection. One is keeping the surroundings clean, giving larval side medicine, fogging. Another is to make people aware.
Hasan Arif urged the journalists to report on dengue control and said, you should go to different districts or mohallas and make investigative reports. Ask the councilor first why his area is so dirty. Then it will be seen that the councilors will also be active and step by step the cleaners will also be available in the field.
He said that 10 teams have already been formed to deal with the ongoing dengue situation. They have started working in each team. They are monitoring every detail to prevent dengue infection. These teams will work in high-risk areas.
Also present during this visit, the Chief Executive Officer of Dhaka South City Corporation. Mizanur Rahman, Additional Secretary of Local Government Department and Narayanganj City Corporation Administrator AHM Kamruzzaman along with senior officials of Dhaka South City Corporation and Local Government Department.
