Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Dhaka City North acting Ameer and member of central working committee Abdur Rahman Musa said, “Dengue fever has become a serious problem in the capital as the authorities of city corporations including government are not playing an important role to kill Aedes mosquitoes. A lot of dengue patients are getting admitted to hospitals everyday. Many of them are being died. All should be worked together to ensure the medical service of dengue patients.”
He called upon the activists and leaders of the organization to work together to ensure treatment of the dengue patients.
He today morning said these as the chief guest while inaugurating mosquito killing campaign and distributing mosquito nets event in the capital. Dakshinkhan West Thana of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Dhaka City North arranged the event. Thana Ameer Shahnewaz presided over the event. Muhammad Jamaat Uddin, zone coordinator and member of working committee of Jamaat Dhaka City North, was the special guest. Thana secretary Mamun Mia, Jamaat leader Dr. Abu Taher, Dr. M A Alam and orhers were also present in the event.
The chief guest formally inaugurated the month long program of spraying disinfectants and distributing mosquito nets as part of the mosquito killing campaign in the capital.
“Dengue is a virus fever. Aedes mosquito carries this virus. No effective vaccine was not invented of this fever. Immediate preventive measures should be taken before spreading out of this fever. Awareness should also be increased. There is no alternative but building up a clean city to prevent dengue fever. First of all, the breeding places of Aedes mosquitoes need to be destroyed effectively. The authorities of city corporations should be sprayed for this regularly. But they are neglecting this. Sometimes they spray but the standard of spray is very poor,” Abdur Rahman Musa added.
He urged the authorities of city corporations to take immediate and long term steps to prevent dengue fever.
He also urged the city residents to use mosquito nets. Public awareness should be increased to prevent dengue fever.
