Upon his arrival in Chattogram, Nipun shared his insights on the election ambiance. “Even before reaching home, I could hear campaign songs of candidates from the two major electoral alliances at various locations. After a long time, I witnessed election booths being set up at the intersections in our neighborhood. Music is playing,” he noted.
