The panel will investigate why the two city corporations in Dhaka failed to control the diseases. The committee will make recommendations to stop recurrence of such a situation like the dengue outbreak Bangladesh experienced in 2019. The High Court has given the panel until Jan 15 to submit the report. Around 100,000 people have been hospitalised for dengue across Bangladesh so far this year, according to the government. The authorities confirmed 112 of the patients died from dengue this year after reviewing 179 out of 251 reports.
