for women reserved seat, in the Ward No-12 of the upcoming election of
Rajshahi City Corporation (RCC) scheduled to be held on July 30, promised to
establish child marriage-free society if they were elected.
They also expressed their commitment for establishing a crime-free society
coupled with freeing their localities from drug-addiction and terrorism
besides extending support towards transforming the city corporation
administration into a corruption-free and pro-people entity.

raised by the participants.

to abide by the commitments they make before the election.
Sujan leaders called upon the voters to elect honest and competent
candidates in the ward councilor polls to strengthen democracy and socio-
economic development in the area.
The participating voters expressed solidarity with the call and signed a
13-point declaration at the event for a peaceful, free and fair election.
The voters also declared that they will boycott corrupts, terrorists, war
criminals, violators against women, drug-peddlers and loan defaulters in the
election.

commitments and plans.
