Mosquito continues to menace life in the city due to inadequate and irregular drives for what the Dhaka City Corporation blamed inadequate manpower and logistic support to monitor the field-level work. People are frequently falling victim to mosquito bites especially of Culex at homes, offices, business centers, bus stops, train stations and launch terminals. Security guards and floating people are the easy victims of the stinging insects. Residents in different areas including Gendaria, Jatrabari, Mirhajirbagh, Jurain, Rampura Mohammadpur, Khilgaon, Moghbazar, Mirpur, Kazipara, Tejgaon, Badda, Shahjahanpur and Uttara complained that they were facing mosquito bites continuously.
