The High Court wants to know the number of people who died of dengue fever caused by Aedes mosquitoes across the country this year.

Three more people, including a garment worker, died after contracting dengue in Dhaka, Khulna and Mymensingh yesterday. With these, a total of 120 people died this year after being infected by the mosquito-borne disease. The DGHS, however, has so far confirmed 52 deaths from dengue.
