Authorities in Bangladesh have intensified security measures at polling centers identified as high-risk ahead of the 13th national election scheduled for February 12. Hundreds of centers across the country have been marked as vulnerable, prompting deployment of additional law enforcement and surveillance systems. In Narsingdi-5 constituency, 66 of 167 polling centers have been labeled risky, including 21 considered highly sensitive. The army has already set up a camp in Raipura upazila, with Border Guard Bangladesh expected to follow soon.
In Chattogram-15 constituency, which covers parts of Satkania and Lohagara upazilas, law enforcement has designated 19 centers as highly risky and 12 as risky. CCTV installation and presiding officer training are underway to ensure a fair voting environment. Security forces including the army, police, Rapid Action Battalion, and Ansar battalions will be deployed for six days surrounding the election period.
Officials said the classification of risky centers was based on intelligence reports and past incidents. Each center will have armed personnel, and special monitoring will be maintained to prevent unrest and ensure smooth polling.
