“We became victorious in the liberation war and we’ll surely win against the mosquitoes,” he asserted.
At the meeting, issues related to traffic management and safe road management during the upcoming Eid festival and hygienic slaughtering of sacrificial animals at specific places to ensure public health and protect environment were discussed.
It was informed at the meeting, 154 officers from the public administration ministry of the rank of deputy secretary or senior assistant secretary will be deployed at 154 wards of the two city corporations of Dhaka to coordinate and monitor the activities to check dengue.
