Lalmonirhat: Disaster Management and Relief Minister Asadul Habib Dulu, MP, has emphasized the necessity for fair and participatory elections within various institutions and organizations.

Dulu noted that recent elections at the Lalmonirhat Chamber and the Railway, along with the one at the Dr Selima Diabetic and General Hospital Association, mark a positive trend. He stressed the importance of conducting these elections in a festive environment with active participation from all members.
The minister believes that fair and participatory elections will enhance the functionality of institutions, making them more people-oriented by empowering members to select candidates of their choice.
