Home Adviser Lieutenant General (Retd) Md Jahangir Alam Chowdhury attended a views exchange meeting with local administration officials, police, and other law enforcement agencies in Faridpur. Jahangir Alam Chowdhury has warned that strict action will be taken against election officials and law enforcement personnel if any irregularities occur at polling stations during the 13th national election, including ballot box snatching or fake voting. Chowdhury said body-worn cameras, CCTV, and drones are being used to ensure transparency, alongside the Election Security App developed by the National Telecommunication Monitoring Center (NTMC). The app will be activated once presiding officers and Ansar members depart for polling stations with election materials, he added. Chowdhury further directed that reserve law enforcement forces be kept ready from dawn on election day until vote counting and result publication are completed.
