Prime Minister Tarique Rahman on Saturday visited hospitals and an educational institution in Dhaka to assess the dengue situation and ongoing cleanliness activities.
He left his Gulshan residence at 9:10am for the surprise visits, Deputy Press Secretary Hasan Shiplu said.
The prime minister first visited Kuwait-Bangladesh Friendship Government Hospital in Uttara to observe the measures being taken to tackle dengue.
He then went to Rajuk Uttara Model College, where he addressed members of the Bangladesh National Cadet Corps (BNCC), urging them to actively participate in cleanliness drives to help prevent the spread of dengue.
Tarique Rahman is also scheduled to visit Dhaka Medical College Hospital and hospitals under the Dhaka North and South city corporations, Shiplu said.
