On the other hand, the Dhaka South City Corporation has mentioned a ‘crash programme’ to tackle the situation. The mosquito menace even delayed a flight at the Dhaka airport on Thursday. Dhaka North City Corporation Panel Mayor Md Osman Gani rejected the claim that there had been no initiative by the authorities. “So we have decided to change our policy and take up a crash programme. We will run the crash programme in five zones.”The mosquitoes that are present across the city now are mostly Culex.
