Despite the cold, a large number of people, including men, women, the elderly, and the young, flocked to Sadunara, Hakbara, SaderKoot, and Banyari to exercise their franchises for what they claimed was the development of their community.
Long queues could be seen outside polling booths in Banyari, SaderKoot, Chandergera, and Hakbara in the Hajin-A DDC constituency.
“This is a vote for development, and we are electing our own village people this time around,” said Abdul Rashid of Hakabara.
We are this time electing a representative from our own village and have hoped that he will resolve the day-to-day issues faced by them. He stated that our community has been without a proper drinking water facility, roads in disrepair, and a proper health care system for a long time;. another voter, Mahjabeena, agreed.
“We have been voting for years and have elected MLAs, but they never came here after getting our votes,” she said.
She said this time we would vote for our own candidate and help her win so that she would sort out our problems, particularly the drinking water facility.
We have many issues that need attention and need to be resolved. The voters said
A group of voters in Banayari said that they have been voting as they will now be in direct contact with their representatives. “It was hard for us to find an MLA, and now our representative will be in our village,” they said.
We exercised our right to vote in the hope that the elected DDC candidates would resolve our grievances within the time frame they had set.
