The Election Commission has deployed Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) specially for 137 risky centers to ensure peaceful voting in the Narayanganj City Corporation election to be held on December 22.
The deployment of BGB was completed on Monday to handle any untoward situation.
Meanwhile, sanction has already been imposed on the staying of the people coming from other areas of the country with effect from Tuesday.
Returning Officer Md Nuruzzaman Talukder said, the city will go under security blanket in the interest of a fair election. A total of 24 members of the law enforcers will guard each of the 174 risky centers.
He said a total of 5600 members of law enforcing agencies will be doing their duties during this election, adding that intelligence agencies identified 137 polling centers as risky.
There are 174 polling centers in 27 Wards of the City Corporation with 1304 polling booths. Seven Mayor, 156 General Councillor and 38 reserved Councillor candidates are contesting in the election.

Jatiya Party on Monday extended support to the ruling Awami League nominated Mayor candidate Selina Hayat Ivy in Narayanganj City Corporation election.
Secretary General Ruhul Amin Hawlader disclosed it to the media.
He said, we have not nominated anyone to contest in the Narayanganj City Corporation polls. So, as part of the party’ decision, we have extended our support to Ivy. The election to Narayanganj City Corporation is scheduled to be held on December 22.
For the moment, Awami League nominated candidate for Narayanganj City Corporation (NCC) Mayor election Dr Selina Hayat Ivy has said that boat and Ivy are inseparable entities.
“I have been telling the Election Commission from the very beginning that I don’t want any extra facilities as a ruling party candidate. I will rather ask the Election Commission to remain cautious so that none–neither the third party nor the fourth party–can influence the election,” said the AL candidate during an election campaign at Khanpur under Ward No. 12 on Monday afternoon.
Surely the EC will not give any concession to any candidate in the polls. It is because a free and fair election in Narayanganj is a guarantee for the election symbol of boat’s victory, firmly said the immediate past Mayor.
Seeking voters’ support, she said: If you elect me, I will get more opportunities in the days ahead to build more roads and culverts in Narayanganj. This time I have got ‘boat’ as election symbol, which Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has given me. I think that the Naraynganj city residents will present Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina a grand victory by electing me again in the Narayanganj City Corporation election to be held on December 22 next. The election campaign will end on Tuesday midnight.
