Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader has expressed his frustration over the roles of party leaders and activists in cleaning programmes to bring the dengue situation under control.
“No need to conduct the cleaning programmes on
camera for publicity,” he said urging the party leaders to take up “sincere” campaigns.
The road transport minister made the remarks in a meeting with party leaders at the Awami League’s central offices on Bangabandhu Avenue on Tuesday.
“The truth is that the authorities have not yet been able to bring the situation under control,” Quader said referring to the increasing number of dengue patients.
According to data from the Directorate General of Health Services, a total of 27,437 people have been infected with dengue so far. As many as 2,065 patients were hospitalised on Saturday, surpassing previous records.
The Health Directorate has confirmed the deaths of 18 from dengue. However, media reports say the death toll is several times higher.
He had also urged people to be patient over the control of the dengue situation in Bangladesh.
But Quader expressed his disappointment over the ‘so-called’ programmes organised by several party leaders just on camera in various wards in Dhaka.
