The High Court (HC) Tuesday, ordered two Dhaka
city corporations to take effective steps to control the spread of Dengue
mosquitoes in the capital.
A High Court division bench comprising Justice FRM Nazmul Ahasan and
Justice KM Kamrul Kader passed the order while hearing a writ petition filed
by rights group Human Rights and Peace for Bangladesh (HRPB) on air
pollution.
The court asked mayors of two Dhaka City Corporations and their chief
executive officers to spray insecticides properly all the wards to kill the
Aedes mosquitoes and submit a report on this within two weeks.
