A science lecture titled 鈥楥leanliness and Dengue Awareness鈥� was organised with 45 students from Holitouch Model School in Dhaka鈥檚 Savar on Monday, said a press release.
In the programme, director general of science museum Mohammad Munir Chowdhury told the students that dengue was spreading due to unplanned urbanisation and lack of proper waste management, which was essential to create social awareness.
Children and teenagers should have strict discipline in their life. They should be made aware of the immense physical and mental damage of using mobile phones for hours, he added.
鈥楩ocus on studies and lead a life of honesty and integrity,鈥� Munir Chowdhury advised the students.
