'Mobile courts to be conducted to prevent dengue'

Mobile courts will be conducted within the next two to three days to strengthen dengue prevention measures, said Health and Family Welfare Minister Sardar Md Sakhawat Husain.

"Institutions where Aedes mosquito larvae are found will face penalties."

The minister made the remarks while inaugurating a three-month special dengue prevention campaign at Rabindra Sarobar in the capital's Dhanmondi area this morning.

Mentioning the risk of bleeding complications among dengue patients this season, Sakhawat said physicians fear that cases of dengue hemorrhagic fever may increase.

"Bleeding may occur in some dengue patients. Therefore, we must remain vigilant and take preventive measures in advance."
