DHAKA, Nov 28, 2025 (BSS) – Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) this morning conducted a special cleanliness and mosquito control drive to curb dengue in Ward-15 of the Dhanmondi area.

DSCC Administrator Md Mahmudul Hasan joined the drive as the chief guest. The campaign, which began in the morning, saw the participation of 900 cleanliness and mosquito control workers from the DSCC Waste Management and Health Departments, along with local residents.

As part of the campaign, waste was removed from lakes, drains, sewers and footpaths, while mosquito control chemicals were applied.

Additionally, a public awareness rally and leaflet distribution was held with participation from local residents, the Dhanmondi Society and the Dhanmondi Residential Area Taxpayers’ Association.

Speaking to journalists during the drive, the DSCC Administrator said that the involvement of city residents in the corporation’s activities helps identify the needs, expectations and suggestions of each locality, enabling effective planning and implementation.

Expressing hope for building a clean, livable and mosquito- and pollution-free city, he urged residents to dispose of household, shop and commercial waste at designated points instead of dumping them indiscriminately.

DSCC Chief Executive Officer Md Zahirul Islam, departmental heads and leaders of local social organisations were present during the campaign.
