Nasim for opening central control room to monitor mosquito killing

Awami League (AL) presidium member Mohammed Nasim has called upon the LGRD and health ministers and two Dhaka city mayors to open a central control room to monitor mosquito killing campaign continuously in a coordinated way, reports BSS.

"Effective steps should be taken immediately to destroy breeding grounds of Aedes mosquitoes," he told a discussion on 'dengue, social degradation and rumours' organised by Gano Azadi League at the National Press Club in the city on Monday.

Nasim, also 14-party alliance spokesperson, urged the leaders and workers of the alliance and AL along with ward councillors of the two city corporations to join the cleanliness campaign to destroy the breeding grounds of mosquitoes.

He said if the mosquito killing activities are monitored through a central control room, the situation of dengue outbreak would take a normal turn within two weeks.

Nasim said AL is a pro-people party as it works for the betterment of people.

He urged BNP to cooperate with the government in controlling dengue and flood keeping the party away from doing politics over the issues.

The AL leader said spreading of rumours has now been stopped to a large extent. He thanked the home minister in this regard.
