He said they will conduct the drives in one sector of each ward daily which means 10 sub-sectors in a day and the combing operation will be completed in 10 days. The mayor said the DNCC team for each sub-sector will have four cleaners and one mosquito eradication worker. “Forty cleaners and 10 mosquito eradication workers will work in each ward and they will go to different houses, institutions and establishments under DNCC every day to see if there are Aedes mosquito larvae or stagnant water for more than three days to contain the outbreak of the Aedes mosquitoes,” said. Mayor Atiqul Islam said three entomologists from the DNCC and the officials from the Waste Management Department and Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) will give necessary directives during the combing operation.
