Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) Mayor Sheikh Fazle Noor Taposh on Tuesday announced that an anti-mosquito drive will be conducted in the DSCC areas from Wednesday to control the spread of Aedes mosquitoes.
The drive will be conducted simultaneously in ten zones under the DSCC, said Taposh, while speaking at a program on mosquito control.
The drive will continue for the next four months, he said.
“A major portion of Dhaka residents are well aware of the mosquitoes and they by themselves destroyed the breeding centre of mosquitoes. But many people are not aware of the dengue menace and after repeated attempts, they did not perform their duties. We should be stricter about them,” said Taposh.
He also urged all to notice every corner in alleys and roof gardens and destroy the breeding places of Aedes mosquitoes.
