CA's meeting with DCs, SPs today on poll law and order
Chief Adviser Fakhruddin Ahmed is to hold a meeting with the deputy commissioners (DCs) and superintendents of police (SPs) of districts at his office today on law and order ahead of the December 18 parliamentary elections.
He is expected to give directives to heads of district administration and police on law and order and for creating an atmosphere for the polls to be held in a free, fair and peaceful manner.
All DCs, who are also returning officers for the national election, and SPs have been called to the meeting at 10:00am with the chief adviser in the chair.
"We have been asked to attend the meeting where the chief adviser will give necessary instructions for maintaining law and order," a DC told The Daily Star last night.
The Election Commission (EC) also held a meeting on law and order at its secretariat last week and reviewed the overall situation.
On November 2, the commission announced detailed schedules for the stalled ninth parliamentary and third upazila polls.
The EC then appointed 66 returning officers (RO) and 538 assistant returning officers (ARO) for parliamentary polls and 64 ROs and 481 AROs for conducting elections to 481 upazilas.
Sixty-four DCs of as many districts and two divisional commissioners were made ROs on deputation for the polls while additional deputy commissioners will work as ROs in the upazila polls.
