The CCC polls is scheduled to be held on March 29.
Earlier in the year, the use of polythene in posters and leaflets in the Dhaka mayoral polls had led to a writ being filed at the High court regarding the ban on laminated posters in election campaigns.
On January 22, the High Court bench of Justice Enayetur Rahim and Mustafizur Rahman had ordered to stop the production and display of plastic laminated posters across the country for city elections and other campaigns.
