Among them, 432 are from Dhaka City Corporation and the rest are from outside Dhaka. At this time, 716 people were discharged from the hospital.

After the change of government, mayors of city corporations and district-upzilla chairmen and municipal mayors were removed. Then on September 26, 12 city corporation councilors were removed. At the same time, on September 29, an order was issued from the local government department to form separate committees in city corporations and municipalities to fulfill the duties of councillors. In this, the administrator has been made the chief and the chief executive officer the member secretary.

Two committee members of two city corporations of the capital have been kept 25 people each. Representatives of various service organizations including Dhaka Divisional Commissioner, Dhaka Metropolitan Police, Rajuk, National Housing Authority have been kept in the committee. It is mentioned that these representatives will serve as councillors. Similarly, in other city corporations and municipalities, it has been said to form committees according to the number. Apart from this, on September 30, 10 Regional Executive Officers in two city corporations of the capital were also ordered to perform the duties of councillors. But those with whom the committee is made, have many other responsibilities of their own. Besides, councilors have to perform additional duties. 172 councilors removed have been replaced by 70 officials. But due to their non-presence on the ground and lack of adequate mosquito drugs and equipment, the threat of dengue is increasing. However, a six-member committee of the Ministry of Local Government has been made to control dengue. But the activities of the committee are not seen at the field level. However, even though the two city corporations regularly spray the medicine, there is no visible response. In fact, the incidence of dengue is increasing.

Dr. entomology expert in this regard . Kabirul Bashar said, it is necessary to determine hotspots based on dengue patients. Aedes mosquitoes should be killed by crushing with a fogging machine up to 200 meters around the house where there are dengue patients. At the same time breeding source management should be done along with hotspot management. It is important to dispose of or manage containers that collect rainwater that can breed Aedes mosquitoes. In addition to the city corporation, the city residents should also be involved in this work. He also said that the city dwellers should ensure that there is no breeding ground in their houses and house yards. If the breeding grounds are such that it cannot be discarded; Then the corporation has to apply pesticides there. We have long argued that insecticides that kill mosquito larvae like mosquito repellent aerosols and coils need to be within people's reach. If a citizen wants to control the mosquitoes in his own house, the opportunity should be available to the city dweller.
