Story
To date, more than 160 people have died of dengue in Dhaka and mosquitoes are the main bearer of this disease. Mayor of Dhaka City Corporation has requested all citizens of Dhaka to come forward to clean the city and destroy the breeding grounds of mosquitoes. Volunteers from the NUS Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy Bangladesh Alumni Chapter helped to fumigate the Hathirjheel Lake ares (which has been identified as one of the breeding areas); as well as help to clear the waste near the lake area with help of City Corporation cleaning staff.
