Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) will distribute aerosol sprays among the education institutes in the city area free of cost in a bid to protect the students from mosquito bites and dengue fever.

“We will provide aerosol sprays to all educational institutions in my city area free of cost to fight the menace of mosquito. I hope that we would be able to get rid of the situation immediately,” DSCC Mayor Sayeed Khokon said today.
