Calling all political parties to participate in the elections, the commissioner said, "As we tried to make the parliamentary elections fair and impartial, we will try to do the same in the local government elections." 

Regarding the possible date of the upazila parishad elections, Alamgir said, "Since the SSC exams and the month of Ramadan are ahead, we are making preparations so that elections can be held immediately after Eid. 

"This election will be conducted in phases starting from the last week of April and ending on 31 May."
