PM advises standing beside puddle instead of going abroad to learn mosquito eradication

02 Jun, 2026 00:08 am
DHAKA, June 1, 2026 (BSS) - Prime Minister Tarique Rahman today advised officials to stand beside a puddle rather than travelling to Florida to learn mosquito eradication. The Prime Minister suggested this after a proposal was sent to the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) seeking approval for a visit to Florida, United States (US), by Chattogram City Corporation Mayor Dr. Shahadat Hossain and five other officials of the city corporation to inspect innovative mosquito control activities, said Prime Minister's Deputy Press Secretary Jahidul Islam Rony.  He said after receiving the proposal for a visit to Florida to observe innovative mosquito control activities, the Prime Minister remarked, "There is no need to go to Florida, USA, to learn or observe mosquito eradication. By standing beside any puddle in the country for two to three hours after sunset, it would be possible to come up with many innovative methods of mosquito elimination."

Efficient admin key to nation's development: Azam Khan
DHAKA, June 1, 2026 (BSS) - Liberation War Affairs Minister Ahmed Azam Khan today said an efficient, talented and responsible administration is the driving force behind state governance and development. "Public officials have a vital role in ensuring the country's progress, good governance and fulfillment of people's expectations," he said. The minister made the remarks while exchanging post-Eid greetings with officers and employees at the conference room of the Ministry. He said officials of the republic are among the nation's brightest citizens who have earned their positions through competitive examinations and are entrusted with important responsibilities of the state. "The state has nurtured them, and the people place their highest expectations on them. Political leadership may provide direction, but the administration carries out the core responsibilities of running the state," he said. The minister further said that many countries around the world are advancing rapidly through morality, efficiency and good governance, and Bangladesh must also move forward along the same path. He stressed the need to move away from the culture of corruption, waste and irregularities and ensure the proper use of state resources.  "Public confidence can be restored through enhanced capacity and accountability in government and state-owned institutions," he added. Senior officials and employees of the ministry were present at the programme.

FactWatch identifies misinformation campaign against Jubo Dal using false video

DHAKA, May 22, 2026 (BSS) - Fact-checking organisation FactWatch has identified a misinformation campaign spread on social media using a video from India to falsely claim that activists of Jubo Dal attacked a female coordinator in Bangladesh. According to FactWatch, the viral video circulated on Facebook with a caption claiming that activists of Jubo Dal assaulted a coordinator named "Nilima" in Bangladesh at midnight. However, an investigation conducted by the organisation found that the footage was not from Bangladesh but from an entirely different incident that took place in India. FactWatch said its investigation team conducted a reverse image search using key frames extracted from the viral video and found a matching video published on May 19 on the official X account of Press Trust of India (PTI). The organisation said the incident actually occurred in the Giri Road area of Berhampur city in India's Odisha state. Local Indian media outlets also published reports on the incident. According to FactWatch, the video has no connection with Bangladesh, and claims linking it to any student coordinator or political party in the country are completely baseless. After analysing all available information, the organisation identified the Facebook posts as false. Fact-checking organisations said the spread of misinformation involving Bangladesh has increased on various local and international media platforms, social media accounts and Facebook pages since the mass uprising of 2024. According to them, such disinformation campaigns have particularly targeted BNP after the formation of the government. FactWatch said it has been working to counter rumours and false information circulating in the country. The organisation is an independent fact-checking initiative approved by the University of Liberal Arts Bangladesh and operated by the Center for Critical and Qualitative Studies. The organisation also said incidents of spreading fake videos, misleading information and rumours on social media have increased recently, and it has been regularly verifying such claims and working to prevent misinformation.
