Saiful Islam Roman, Central Organiser of the NCP youth wing ‘Jatiyo Juboshokti’ and a prospective candidate for Narayanganj-1 (Rupganj), visited several Durga Puja mandaps in Rupganj, calling for communal harmony and a peaceful environment.
On Tuesday, he led visits to Murapara Kali Mandir, Baniadi Rishipara Mandir, Delpara Durga Mandir and other sites.
During the visits, he spoke with leaders of Puja Udjapan Parishads, mandap committee presidents and secretaries, and devotees.

He expressed satisfaction with government and administrative security measures, highlighting law enforcement patrols and monitoring.
Organisers welcomed him with floral greetings and raised local issues, to which he pledged full support.
