Citizens must also take responsibility alongside the government to prevent dengue: PM
Earlier, the Prime Minister visited Kuwait-Bangladesh Friendship Government Hospital. Along with inquiring about the patients under treatment, he toured the hospital's ICU, operating rooms and various departments. Expressing dissatisfaction with the hospital's management and cleanliness, he directed that improvements be made within seven days.
The Prime Minister said the most effective way to tackle dengue is prevention. For this, the surroundings must be kept clean and social awareness must be built to stop littering. Rather than relying only on the city corporation or the administration, every citizen must fulfill their responsibility from their own position.
