NAOGAON, Jan 20, 2026 (BSS) - Primary and Mass Education Adviser Professor Dr Bidhan Ranjan Roy Podder today said the scenario of the election will change after the allocation of symbols.

“Once the campaign begins, a fair voting atmosphere will be created,” he said responding to a question from journalists before a view-exchange meeting organised at Sadar Upazila Parishad auditorium in Naogaon.

The meeting was arranged to increase voter awareness about the upcoming general election and referendum.

Prof Bidhan Ranjan said the referendum campaign vehicles may not be able to go everywhere due to the lack of wide roads. 

However, he said, the campaign is being carried out in market areas. 

In addition, he said, various meetings and seminars are being organised at various educational institutions, including courtyard meetings.

The adviser said those who will be in charge of the election must maintain neutrality to present a beautiful election before the nation.

Later, he joined the view-exchange meeting as the chief guest.

Chaired by Naogaon Deputy Commissioner, the meeting was attended, among others, by District Police Superintendent Tariqul Islam.

Officials and employees of various government entities, public representatives, civil society members and general people were present.
