Authorities have declared all 127 polling centers in Cumilla-11 (Chouddagram) constituency as vulnerable ahead of the upcoming 13th National Parliamentary Election scheduled for February 12. The seat, where Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami’s Nayeb-e-Ameer Dr. Syed Abdullah Mohammad Taher is contesting, has been identified as sensitive due to previous incidents of electoral violence. Installation of CCTV cameras at these centers is reportedly nearing completion.
Across Cumilla district’s 11 constituencies and 17 upazilas, 934 of 1,491 polling centers have been marked as vulnerable and 227 as highly vulnerable. The classification follows a review of past national and local election violence. Recent clashes between BNP and Jamaat activists in Chouddagram left over fifty people injured, prompting heightened security measures.
Assistant Returning Officer and Chouddagram Upazila Executive Officer Nurul Amin stated that comprehensive preparations are underway, with deployment of executive magistrates, army, BGB, police, Ansar battalions, RAB, and judicial magistrates to maintain order during the polls.
