Two presiding officers from separate polling centers in Faridpur were withdrawn on Wednesday night following allegations that they allowed unlawful entry into the centers. The officers are Al Amin from the Hitoyshi High School center under Faridpur-3 constituency and Zahidul Islam from the Ashapur Madrasa center under Faridpur-1 constituency. The district returning officer took the decision after the allegations surfaced.

Faridpur’s Additional District Magistrate, Mintu Biswas, confirmed the action, stating that both officers were removed for enabling unauthorized access to the polling centers. New presiding officers were immediately appointed to replace them to ensure the continuity of election activities.

The incident highlights administrative measures taken to address alleged irregularities during the election process in Faridpur, as authorities moved swiftly to maintain order and transparency at the polling stations.
