Sunamganj Deputy Commissioner Dr. Mohammad Elias Mia announced that 451 remote polling centers in the district will be brought under closed-circuit camera surveillance. He made the statement on Sunday morning while speaking to journalists, emphasizing that the initiative aims to ensure a peaceful and transparent election process in the region.

The deputy commissioner described Sunamganj as a generally peaceful district with limited political tension. However, he noted that transportation and the movement of election materials in remote haor areas are difficult, and in case of any unrest, it would be hard to reach those locations quickly or preserve election records properly. To address these challenges, the administration decided to install CCTV cameras in those 451 centers.

According to the district administration, the use of surveillance cameras is expected to help maintain neutrality and transparency during the upcoming election process in Sunamganj’s remote areas.
