The Bangladesh Army has identified Dhaka-14 and Dhaka-16 constituencies as highly risky among three constituencies in the capital, according to Mirpur Camp Commander Lieutenant Colonel S M Fuad Masroor. Speaking at a press conference on Saturday at the Shaheed Suhrawardy Indoor Stadium in Mirpur, he said 18 percent of polling centers in Dhaka-14, 16, and 18 have been marked as risky, with two of them categorized as highly risky.

Fuad Masroor explained that polling centers have been divided into three categories—general, moderate, and highly risky—based on their vulnerability levels. The army is maintaining maximum alert to ensure voters can reach polling centers safely. Security measures are being implemented according to the risk classification, and the army will act as a striking force to maintain a peaceful election environment.

He also urged journalists to verify information before reporting on any incidents of unrest or sabotage during the election period to prevent misinformation. The army will ensure the safety of both candidates and media workers, and any signs of risky situations should be immediately reported to law enforcement authorities.
