Journalists will be able to use motorcycles to gather news during the 11th National Parliament Election. However, they must use stickers provided by the Election Commission (EC).
EC Assistant Director (Public Relations) Ashadul Haque informed the media about this on Thursday afternoon.
He said, "The Election Commission has lifted the ban on journalists' motorcycles. A circular in this regard will be issued by today. However, all journalists must use the stickers prescribed by the EC."‘
Earlier, the Election Commission had issued a policy on December 21 and imposed the ban. After that, various journalist organizations and intellectuals of the country opposed it. The journalists strongly protested the decision despite holding a meeting with the EC on Tuesday. As a result, the Election Commission held a discussion on the matter on Wednesday.
