RAJSHAHI, July 14 (BSS): Four out of total five mayoral candidates for the upcoming Rajshahi City Corporation (RCC) election scheduled to be held on July 30 promised to work for development of the city if they were elected.

Awami League nominee mayoral candidate AHM Khairuzzaman Liton (Boat) could not attend the programme due to his engagement in election campaign.
Sushashoner Jonno Nagorik (Sujan) organised the programme at Moonlight Garden Convention Centre to create awareness among voters and give them the opportunity to put across their aspirations to the mayoral candidates.

The participating voters expressed solidarity with the call and signed a declaration at the meeting for a peaceful, free and fair election.
