In the Dhaka University Central Students’ Union (DUCSU) election, visually impaired student Faruk Howlader from Surya Sen Hall expressed his excitement after casting his vote using the Braille system.

At around 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, he voted at the Udayan School polling centre with the help of Braille. Speaking to reporters afterward, Faruk said it was a remarkable experience and expressed hope that the same system would be introduced in the national elections.
