RAJSHAHI, June 6, 2026 (BSS) - An awareness rally titled "Dengue Prevention Awareness Rally-2026" was organized by the Rajshahi City Corporation (RCC) to increase public awareness to prevent dengue.

So let us all play an effective role in preventing dengue to keep our families and beloved city safe.
Rajshahi City Corporation is taking preparations to prevent dengue. "Our efforts to build a dengue-free Rajshahi metropolis will continue. Alongside the city corporation's activities, city dwellers must also keep their own yards and surroundings clean," he added.
At that time, the RCC Administrator called on everyone to be aware of the need to remove stagnant water and destroy mosquito breeding grounds.
