More than 1000 police personnel along with members of Rab and BGB will be on the ground to maintain law and order during Wednesday’s by-poll to the Brahmanbaria-2 constituency, said the district election officer.
The Brahmanbaria-2 constituency fell vacant due to the resignation of now expelled BNP leader Abdus Sattar Bhuiyan on December 10 last year, along with six other BNP lawmakers.
As many as 1,100 police personnel, 10 teams of Rab, four platoons of BGB, and 1,585 Ansar members will be deployed at 132 polling stations, including 84 in Sarail upazila and 48 in Ashuganj upazila, said the election official.
Apart from this, 17 executive magistrates will conduct mobile courts in 17 unions of the two upazilas, the assistant returning officer said. Two judicial magistrates will also be on duty in the upazilas.
