The Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) has initiated a new program deploying "city inspectors" to encourage residents to maintain clean surroundings and prevent the breeding of Aedes mosquitoes. This effort also targets indiscriminate waste disposal. The program is a six-month pilot project launched in Motijheel's Ward 9, with financial backing from Aachi Bangladesh (American Affordable Community Healthcare Initiative).

Officially inaugurated at Nagar Bhaban by DSCC Administrator Md Abdus Salam, the pilot project will run until December 9. Twenty city inspectors are directly engaging with locals. Their primary role is to raise public awareness and foster a culture of cleanliness. This focus aims to combat the spread of diseases like dengue, while also protecting public health by preventing air pollution and waterlogging.

If Motijheel's Ward 9 demonstrates success as a model ward, the DSCC plans to gradually implement the program across all its wards. This initiative reflects a proactive approach to urban health and environmental management within the city.
