The Bangladesh Army and law enforcement agencies have intensified security around Rohingya refugee camps in Ukhiya and Teknaf upazilas of Cox’s Bazar ahead of the upcoming national parliamentary election. At a joint forces press briefing held on February 10 at the Cox’s Bazar Cultural Center, officials announced enhanced patrols, checkpoints, and surveillance to prevent any untoward incidents during the election period.
Lieutenant Colonel Tanvir Ahmed of the 10 Infantry Division, Ramu Cantonment, said the camps were identified as high-risk zones, prompting additional troop deployment and round-the-clock patrols. Barbed-wire fencing has been reinforced, damaged sections repaired, and temporary army camps established at every polling center in the district. Joint forces have also rehearsed deployment plans to ensure rapid response to any emergency.
Lieutenant Colonel Supata reported that from February 3 to 9, a total of 46 joint operations were conducted across South Chattogram and Cox’s Bazar, resulting in the arrest of 59 criminals and 1,149 Rohingyas. Authorities seized illegal firearms, ammunition, sharp weapons, and narcotics. Officials expressed confidence that coordinated efforts would ensure a peaceful and secure election.
