Home Adviser Md. Jahangir Alam Chowdhury has announced that over 80,000 members of the army will be deployed for the upcoming national parliamentary elections.

In addition, personnel from the police, RAB, BGB, and other forces will also be deployed.

Speaking at a press conference after inspecting the Tegharia High School polling center in the Dhaka-3 constituency, the Home Adviser said that while previously two Ansar members were assigned to each polling center, in the upcoming election, an additional armed Ansar member will be deployed to ensure the presiding officer’s security.

He also noted that due to the media’s responsible reporting in Bangladesh, false news propaganda from many neighboring countries has stopped.

Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus recently announced that the 13th national parliamentary election will be held before Ramadan next February.
