The Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) has realised Tk 1,77,500 in fines from 28 cases after Aedes mosquito larvae were found in several households across various areas under its jurisdiction.

The cases were filed in Mirpur-10, Rupnagar, Uttar Pallabi, Agargaon, Uttara Nikunjo and Baridhara areas , DNCC said.
The mobile courts were led by DNCC-appointed executive magistrates Atish Darshi Chakma, SM Rasel Islam Noor, Shariful Alam Tanvir, Pramotha Ranjan Ghatak and Dedarul Islam.
