Atiqul Islam, the Awami League (AL) mayoral candidate for the Dhaka North City Corporation polls, has apologised to the city residents for creating 'unexpected' troubles in their city life by way of campaign for the February 01 polls, reports bdnews24.com.

The use of loudspeakers and huge crowds of activists at campaign camps or offices are disrupting city life, he said in a statement on Monday.

Atiqul said his team has set up a campaign office in each area to find a solution to the problems in Dhaka.

"A large number of leaders, activists and well-wishers come to visit the camp every day and I've often used loudspeakers," he said.

"The use of loudspeakers and gatherings are creating troubles in your personal and social life. I would like to apologise for those unexpected problems," Atiqul said.

The mayoral and councillor candidates of Dhaka city polls are using loudspeakers for campaigning from early morning to late night in parts of Dhaka violating the code of conduct.

The use of loudspeakers ahead of the SSC examinations in some places drew bitter reactions from the residents of Dhaka.
