The interim government is considering advanced surveillance measures for the upcoming national parliamentary elections, including the use of drones, installation of CCTV cameras at polling centers, and equipping police officers with body cameras. Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam announced the plans during a press conference at the Foreign Service Academy in Dhaka. He said legal aspects are under review to ensure the measures comply with regulations. The proposals were discussed earlier in the day during an advisory council meeting chaired by Chief Adviser Professor Dr. Muhammad Yunus. In another announcement, the government decided to open a new Bangladeshi consulate in Detroit, Michigan, to expand diplomatic and consular services. The Chief Adviser directed that all operations be managed online, ensuring full digital capability from the consulate’s inception.
