PM orders loudspeaker campaigns in localities on dengue

The directives came at a meeting on dengue prevention and control at the Secretariat on Tuesday.

At the meeting, Tarique Rahman said the next few months would be critical in controlling dengue and called for coordinated action by all relevant government agencies to prevent further transmission.


He also called for arrangements to include dengue prevention messages in Friday prayer sermons, informing worshippers about the steps they can take to reduce the risk of infection.


In addition, the prime minister emphasised stronger coordination among the relevant ministries, divisions and government agencies to make dengue prevention activities more effective.

The government is seeking to reinforce public awareness, improve cleanliness and ensure a coordinated response as it prepares for the coming months, which the prime minister described as crucial to containing the outbreak.
