DHAKA, Mar 13: The Bangladesh High Court has questioned the authorities on their indifference and negligence in ending mosquito trouble at Dhaka’s Shahjalal International Airport.
The bench of Justice FRM Nazmul Ahasan and Justice KM Kamrul Kader issued a set of rules after initial hearing of a writ petition on the issue on Tuesday.
The civil aviation and tourism secretary, Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh chairman, Dhaka North mayor and the councilor of the city corporation ward next to the airport have been ordered to respond to the rules within four weeks.
Md Tanvir Ahmed, the lawyer who filed the writ petition, said he first sent a legal notice to the related authorities following a media report on mosquito menace at the airport.
He said he moved the court as the authorities did not respond to the notice.
The court even remarked that the mosquito menace at an international airport will taint our national image said the lawyer, according to whom four million foreigners use the airport every year.
