The observations came at a discussion titled "Mosquito Menace and Public Sufferings," organized by the Dhaka Utility Reporters Association (DURA) at the Sagar-Runi Auditorium of Dhaka Reporters Unity. Former DURA general secretary Shahjahan Molla presided over the event, while DURA general secretary Zahirul Islam conducted the session. Speaking as the chief guest, Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) Chief Health Officer Dr. Nishat Parveen said efforts by the city corporation alone are insufficient to reduce dengue and mosquito nuisance. Jahangirnagar University zoology professor and entomologist Dr. Kabirul Bashar said mosquito problems in Dhaka have become structural and scientific rather than seasonal. Dhaka Reporters Unity General Secretary Mainul Hasan Sohel also urged both authorities and citizens to play active roles in controlling all forms of mosquito menace in the capital.
