Readers' Forum: Make Dhaka Airport mosquito-free

block
On March 2, I checked in early at the Dhaka airport, hoping for a few relaxing hours at the departure lounge before the takeoff. But the mosquitoes at the airport had other plans. They were so numerous and annoying that a lady got fed up and went up to an airport official to complain. His reply was astounding: “They don’t bite us.”
Dhaka airport serves as the gateway to the country for foreign visitors and Bangladeshis alike. What impression would visitors have about our country when they are greeted by these blood-thirsty mosquitoes? We boast of many mega projects in our country. I suggest that we launch a mega project to rid Dhaka airport of this mosquito menace.
