Inspector General of Police (IGP) Baharul Alam announced that if mob violence occurs at any polling center during the upcoming election, the Election Commission will suspend voting not only at that center but across the entire constituency. He made the statement on Tuesday while briefing journalists about the law and order situation ahead of the 13th National Parliamentary Election and referendum.

The IGP said all preparations for the election are complete and no one will be able to disrupt the process. A three-tier security system has been arranged, including fixed, mobile, and striking forces. A total of 187,603 police personnel are deployed, supported by the army, navy, and Ansar. Officers who served in the previous election have been excluded from election duties to ensure neutrality. Baharul Alam expressed hope for a fair and peaceful election.

He added that 27,995 licensed firearms have been deposited, 90 percent of polling centers are under CCTV surveillance, and body-worn cameras and drones will be used in vulnerable centers.
