Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) fined five government and private organisations, including Bangladesh Oil, Gas and Mineral Resources Corporation (Petrobangla), Tk 0.5 million each (total Tk 2.5 million) for finding Aedes mosquito larvae in the basement of those establishments on Monday, reports UNB.
Rest four other establishments are -- the basements of Jahangir Tower, Jamuna Oil under construction building, Trading Corporation of Bangladesh (TCB), and Bangladesh Textile Mills Corporation.
Presence of Aedes mosquito larvaes were detected during a drive by a mobile court of the DNCC in the presence of its Mayor Atiqul Islam in the Karwan Bazar area.
Zonal Executive Officer and Executive Magistrate Motakabbir Ahmed conducted the mobile court around 12:00 noon. The DNCC mayor also visited the basement of Wasa building and some other buildings.
After getting Aedes mosquito larvaes inside government's establishments, the DNCC Mayor Md. Atiqul Islam commented that it is very sad, very disappointing to find Aedes mosquito larvae in government institutions.
He said, "Meetings are held several times in our ministry and even Inter-ministerial meetings are also held. All of us have said that we will keep our own institutions clean. We will do our duties. Everyone says it but in reality no one is doing their duty."
