Akhter Hossain, joint general secretary of Naldanga AL, backed by the local MP, told the news agency that the party's upazila unit committee was formed on December 8 in presence of Shafiqul Islam Shimul, MP.

Rois Uddin Rubel and Towhidul Rahman Liton were made president and general secretary of the committee.
