Political scene

A lone exception

Star Report
**Senbagh upazila office building in Noakhall district still remains free from wall writings and posters. Despite hectic election campaigns being carried out by different political parties and groups in the locality the building could maintain its total 'neutrality' till now.
This was possible due to a general appeal by the Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO) to the members of the public. Long before the campaign began the UNO convened a meeting of the local leaders and supporters of all the political parties and requested them to preserve the beauty of the upazila bhaban.
UNO's request was honoured. In all other buildings ana sheds in the upazila headquarters posters, wall writings and election symbols are found in plenty.
However it could not be gathered whether the UNO would be rewarded by the authority for his extraordinary initiative.**
