Controlling Culex Mosquitoes
The two city corporations in Dhaka have not been as active in controlling Culex mosquitoes this year as they have been in coping with coronavirus and dengue control. The way ward-based mosquito eradication workers have worked to control the Aedes mosquito carrying the dengue virus is no longer as active as it used to be.
Entomologists say they see weaknesses in the two city corporations in the steps that need to be taken to control Culex mosquitoes. This is because the mosquito infestation would not have increased so much if the cleanliness and spraying activities had been done properly.
An on-the-spot investigation has shown that there is an excessive infestation of Culex mosquitoes all over Dhaka city. As a result, the public life of the people of the capital is becoming unbearable. Students are not able to concentrate on their studies properly due to mosquito bites.
Therefore, it is very important for the city corporation and the concerned authorities to take action to eradicate mosquitoes very fast. Besides, the general public should also take utmost care.

World Kidney Day
‘World Kidney Day’ is observed on 11 March around the world from 2006. The day is a joint initiative of International Federation of Kidney and International Society of Nefrology.
There are many people in our country who do not get proper medical care because of poverty. So, the governments should provide medical care of kidney complication free of cost.
