Dengue awareness campaign launched at JnU

Bashundhara Shuvosangho’s Jagannath University (JnU) unit launched a 10-day awareness campaign on 5 October to prevent dengue and curb the breeding of Aedes mosquitoes.
The ongoing campaign includes awareness drives, leaflet distribution and cleanliness activities across the university campus and surrounding areas, targeting residents, pedestrians and students.
The campaign has so far covered Bahadur Shah Park, TSC, Banglabazar, Sadarghat, the launch terminal, Keraniganj, Patuatuli, Raishaheb Bazar, Shankhari Bazar and Laxmibazar, along with Dhaka Metropolitan Women’s College, Dhaka Government Muslim High School, the JnU girls’ hall, Banglabazar School and Pogose School. 
During the campaign, volunteers are informing students, shopkeepers, pedestrians and guardians about dengue prevention through leaflet distribution, stagnant water removal and cleanliness activities to reduce mosquito breeding. 
The campaign also emphasises the importance of removing stagnant water from rooftops, flowerpots, drums, buckets and discarded containers, covering water-holding containers and keeping homes and surrounding areas clean.
