The Dhaka Times Desk Happy Janmashtami, the birthday of Lord Krishna, the Mahavatar of Sanatan Hinduism, is also being celebrated appropriately in Bangladesh. On this occasion today (Wednesday) is a public holiday.
The Hindu community is celebrating Janmashtami across the country with religious solemnity and joy. Followers of this Sanatana Dharma state that Lord Krishna was born from the agonizing blood of Devaki and Vasudeva imprisoned by the tyrant King Kamsa in the city of Mathura on the Mahapunya Tithi towards the end of the Dwapara Yuga.
According to Hindu mythology, Lord Krishna was born on the eighth tithi of Shuklapaksha in the month of Bhadra. According to Sanatana religionists, just when brute power rose to devour justice, truth and beauty, Lord Krishna appeared in Mahavatar to subdue that power and establish justice and welfare of mankind. They also believe that this is how God descends from time to time to suppress evil and establish truth and beauty.
Various socio-cultural and religious organizations have taken elaborate programs on the occasion of Janmashtami. Today (Wednesday) is a public holiday on the occasion of Janmashtami. Special programs are being broadcast on private satellite channels including Bangladesh Radio and Television.
On the occasion of auspicious Janmashtami, President Md. Sahabuddin and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina have expressed Janmashtami greetings to the Hindu community in separate messages.

How to prevent dengue
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral fever. This fever is different from other viral or bacterial fevers. However, this fever is not contagious in any way. This viral fever can occur alone or in combination with other viruses (chikungunya, yellow fever, Burma forest, flu, respiratory syncytial) and bacteria (pneumococcus).
Dengue fever is divided into two categories depending on the severity of symptoms and fever.
1. Common dengue fever
2. Dengue fever with bleeding.
In the case of common dengue fever, the following symptoms are mainly seen-
1. Sudden high fever lasting 2 to 7 days.
2. Severe headache.
3. Pain behind the eyes.
4. Along with the fever, red rash appears all over the body.
5. Severe pain in whole body as well as back pain.
6. Nausea or vomiting.
7. A rash or red bumps on the skin.
In case of dengue fever with bleeding:
1. Bleeding from nose, mouth or vomiting with high fever within 2 to 48 hours.
2. Fluid accumulation in chest or abdomen along with fever.
If any of these symptoms appear, seek medical attention immediately.
On the other hand
Wait at home for the first 3 days of fever. On the other hand, sponge the whole body with water every now and then. This will reduce the level of fever. Drink enough water and rest. After that, if the fever does not decrease or if it continues to increase after some time, consult a doctor immediately.
Things to do to prevent Dengue:
1. Try to keep the surroundings of the house as clean as possible.
2. If there are flower tubs or broken plastic bottles, can shells, tires or polythene inside the house, clean them quickly and drain the accumulated water from the flower tubs.
3. Spray or fog at least 3 times a week to kill mosquitoes.
4. You can keep mosquito repellent cream with you while going out.
5. After evening, younger and older members of the household should use mosquito nets.
6. Clean up any accumulated rain water, as this is the time when Aedes mosquitoes lay their eggs.
7. On the other hand, you can use mats along with mosquito nets to avoid mosquito infestation.
8. Since Aedes mosquitoes bite during the day, it is important to avoid sleeping with mosquito nets while sleeping during the day. Source: https://dmpnews.org
