Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has transformed the country from militancy to a country of peace, said Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan.
He said this at a programme organized by Krishak League to kill Aedes mosquito and create awareness at Khamarbari roundabout area on Friday morning.
Krishak League has come forward responding to the prime minister's call to control dengue, he said.
"We will get rid of dengue if we can keep our own backyards clean in our homes. Dengue is a seasonal disease, a mosquito-borne disease,” said the minister.
To get rid of dengue, everyone has to be careful. Everyone should come forward united to kill the Aedes mosquito, he said.
Awami League Joint General Secretary and Information Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud was present as the chief guest at the function presided over by Krishak League President Samir Chanda.
