EC to declare schedules of Dhaka, Ctg city polls this month.

The Election Commission on Thursday said it would declare the schedules of polls to Chittagong and bifurcated Dhaka city corporations within March. Chief election commissioner Kazi Rakibuddin Ahmad said this at a press briefing after a meeting with education ministry and law enforcing agencies at EC secretariat in the capital. The elections to the three city corporations have to be held before Ramadan that was going to begin in mid-June, the CEC said. He said that a befitting time for holding polls would be fixed considering the gaps of HSC exams which would start from April 2. On the country’s present law and order situation, Kazi Rakibuddin said, ‘They (law enforcing agencies) all said the condition is developing. They are expecting the development of condition will remain same and it will be normal.’ ‘They (law enforcing agencies) don’t think that any unrest or obstacle will prevail during the polls’ time,’ he added.
