EC to decide army deployment in a couple of days.

The chief election commissioner, Kazi Rakibuddin Ahmad, said on Sunday the Election Commission would decide over army deployment during the upcoming city polls in Dhaka and Chittagong in a day or two. He said the commission had a meeting with police, Rapid Action Battalion, intelligence agencies, Detective Branch of police and other officials of the different ministries and would decide on deployment of troops based on their opinion given in the meeting. ‘We will take maximum steps during the city polls so that no defect remains there,’ said the CEC while talking to reporters after a meeting with the law enforcement agencies at the commission secretariat in the capital. The law enforcement agencies said the situation of the law and order is well now, he said. ‘We also asked the law enforcement agencies to deploy their best strength to control the law and order if anyone tries to create chaos during the polls,’ Rakibuddin said.
