In Lohagara upazila of Chattogram, CCTV cameras and related equipment installed for the upcoming 13th National Parliamentary Election were stolen from a polling center. As of Tuesday, February 10, the cameras had not been reinstalled, despite the center being listed by the administration as highly vulnerable. The theft occurred on the night of January 28 at the Tayeb Ashraf Government Primary School in Jamidar Para area. The school’s head teacher, Subodh Kanti Sikdar, discovered the theft the next morning and filed a general diary with the local police.
According to the head teacher, four CCTV cameras, one router, and one monitor installed on January 15 for election security were stolen after six locks were broken. He immediately informed the police and the upazila executive officer. Upazila Executive Officer and Assistant Returning Officer Md. Saiful Islam stated that the cameras would be reinstalled by the end of the day to ensure polling center security.
Local residents expressed concern that the Tayeb Ashraf Government Primary School center, already marked as high-risk, remains without CCTV coverage so close to the election.
