Roving Correspondent, Ishwardi

Just before the start of polling at eight o'clock on Sunday morning, ten cocktails were blasted in succession by boycotters in the grounds of Ishwardi Sara Marwari School and College Centre.

This created panic among the voters and the residents of that area. On receiving information, police, BGB, RAB and Ansar forces arrived at the scene and collected evidence. About an hour later, two more cocktail blasts were made in Fatemohampur center in the area. On the other hand, Sara UP Chairman Emdadul Haque Rana told reporters that one cocktail blast was made in Mazdia polling center around noon and another in Muladuli center on Saturday night. No casualties were reported in the Eb cocktail explosion.

The voters told the journalists that the polling environment was created in Pabna-4 constituencies due to the busy campaigning of the candidates and the strict monitoring of all kinds of administrations, but due to the boycotting program of the opponents and cocktail explosions, the presence of voters was not noticed in some centers.

However, Awami League-supported activists and voters claim that the boat will win for sure. Meanwhile, the independent candidate for this constituency, Pabna district Awami League advisory member and former MP Punjab Biswas Naoka, declared voting boycott in front of the District Commissioner's office at 4:45 pm due to irregular voting in various centers.

About the complaint of independent candidate Punjab Biswas, Ishwardi Assistant Returning Officer Subir Kumar Das said, I have not received any written complaint of boycotting votes of Punjab Biswas. But I immediately took action on what you complained to me about.

OC of Ishwardi police station Rafiqul Islam told reporters about the same complaint, Punjab Biswas informed me about the irregularities in a center in the municipal area as soon as I went to that center myself and did not find any sign of complaint.
