Peaceful Atmosphere Persists in the
Poll Centers
Mabrur Atiqi, Dhaka, 12 July: Union Parishad Election ended yesterday
smoothly without any problem at all poll centers in Gafargaon where I was
present to observe the casting of votes. The voters—male and female—started
coming to the centers early in the morning. They went to the centers in large
numbers.
The
male and female voters stood separately in their respective queues waiting to
cast their votes when their individual turn came. There was a large turnout of
voters who cast their votes maintaining discipline. A festive mood prevailed
all the time in the vicinities of the vote centers. A police contingent was
deployed to maintain peace and order and the personnel did their job thoroughly
well.
One
of the voters said that the environment of the voting had been satisfactory. He
also expressed his satisfaction at the security and management. Another woman
voter said that the polling officers had been very helpful. One of the young
voters who came for the first time to cast vote said that he felt very
enthusiastic and it had been a new experience for him.
Presiding
officer said that the inner atmosphere of the vote center had been safe and
sound. The casting of votes began at 8.00 am and voting continued until the
voters were still in the queues inside the enclosure to finish their vote
casting. However, it was a unique scenario in the context of Bangladesh.
