News Desk

Bangladesh Army has emphasised that a free and fair national election will bring back stability and normal law and order, allowing troops to return to their cantonments.

Around 90,000 and 100,000 army personnel will be deployed nationwide, said Army Headquarters Director (Military Operations Directorate) Brig Gen Dewan Md Monzur Hossain, outlining the army’s preparations for the polls during a press briefing at the Dhaka Cantonment today (5 November).

He said camps will be set up at the district, upazila, and constituency levels.

Brig Gen Monzur also highlighted the army’s security operations, noting that 81% of missing weapons have been recovered, and large quantities of arms and ammunition have been seized at airports and railway stations.

The army’s bomb disposal unit has destroyed over 100 crude bombs, he added.

“The army will cooperate as required to ensure a free and fair election and will assist the Election Commission in whatever way required,” said Brig Gen Monzur.

Army more united

Speaking at the briefing, Lt Gen Md Mainur Rahman, General Officer Commanding of the Army Training and Doctrine Command, said, “Some vested interests are spreading false and malicious propaganda, but the army is now more united than ever and will carry out the responsibilities entrusted to it.”

Responding to journalists, he said, “Like the people of this country, the army also wants the election to be conducted according to the framework prepared by the government.

“Once the election is held, stability will return and law and order will be normalised. Then the army can withdraw from the field and return to the cantonments — that is our goal.”
