Officials of the EC’s regional office in the port city removed the 15-feet long archway at Badamtali around 8pm on Sunday.
 
Assistant Returning Officer Shafikur Rahman told bdnews24.com that election law does not allow such erections for campaign in city polls.
 
An official, seeking anonymity, said a banner of Nasir and ward-28 councillor aspirant Abdur Kader was hung over the archway.
 
Nasir’s election symbol is ‘elephant’.
