According to Atiqul, the DNCC has begun a three-tiered program to manage dengue and has also requested to host weekly dengue awareness meetings with council members, mosque imams, school instructors, and well-known members of the respected wards.

In order to reinforce the anti-mosquito campaign, 10 magistrates have also been appointed in ten locations, he stated.
