Mayor Candidate Hijol Wants to Modernize Jhenaidah Municipality

Independent mayoral candidate Quayum Shahriar Zahedee Hijol wants to make Jhenaidah a state-of-the-art municipality.

"We dream of a model and exceptional municipality in Jhenaidah," he said. "Where there will be improved roads, drains. Improved road lights will light up at night. The service will be delivered door to door. People will enjoy the most modern municipal facilities without any hassle."

Hijol made the remarks while inaugurating the election office adjacent to Castle Bridge at Arappur in Jhenaidah Sadar on Sunday night (May 22). The people present at the time applauded and praised Hijol.

Independent mayoral candidate Hijol is the son of Musa Mia, a language movement activist, and the younger brother of Nasser Shahrear Zahedee, head of Radiant Pharmaceuticals, a well-known businessman. Hijol is a member of Zahedee Foundation, one of the most reputed organizations in the country.

Polls are going to be held in the municipality on June 15. So far, four candidates have survived the scrutiny of the mayoral election by the Election Commission. Among them are Abdul Khaleq, a candidate for the boat symbol, and Quayum Shahriar Zahedee Hijla, an independent mayoral candidate. The other two candidates are rebel candidates of the Awami League.
