Inspector General of Police (IGP) Baharul Alam announced that five people have been killed in 317 incidents of violence across Bangladesh following the announcement of the election schedule. He said a total of 27,995 licensed firearms have been deposited nationwide in preparation for the polls. The information was shared at a press conference held Tuesday morning at the Police Headquarters Media Center on Gani Road, Dhaka, to outline pre-election security measures.
The IGP stated that 157,805 police personnel will be deployed across the country during the election. Each polling center will have a static police force, supported by mobile teams and striking forces to respond to emergencies. To strengthen security, 80 percent of polling centers have been equipped with CCTV cameras, while body-worn cameras and drones will be used in high-risk areas.
Baharul Alam also mentioned that more than a thousand weapons, including those looted from police stations and civilian deposits on August 5, remain missing. Despite these challenges, he expressed optimism about successfully conducting the upcoming election.
