The High Court has ordered the Dhaka North and South city corporations to take effective measures to prevent dengue and report to it.
The HC bench of justice FRM Nazmul Ahasan and Justice KM Kamrul Kader gave the order on Tuesday (Jul 2) while hearing a petition by Rights and Peace for Bangladesh.
During the hearing the city corporations submitted two separate reports saying that they have taken many steps including awareness building for preventing dengue in the capital.
Petitioner’s counsel Manzill Murshid told the court that the dengue is very serious in the capital and many people including the finance minister have been reportedly affected by dengue mosquito.
So, effective steps need to be taken to prevent the menace.
