Inspector General of Police (IGP) AKM Shahidul Haque has said victory procession after the upcoming municipal elections would be controlled to ensure a healthy law and order situation.
“Members of law enforcement agencies including police are kept alert to establish a congenial environment during the municipal polls. Even steps will be taken so that the voters can return home after casting their franchises. The winners will not be allowed to bring out victory procession to prevent any terror acts. Later after having peaceful time returned, the elected can bring out such sort of procession with the permission from the local administration,” IGP Shahidul said.
The IGP made the statement in a press briefing in DIG range office in Boira of Khulna yesterday noon.
Decisions including banning licensed firearms would be adopted soon before the elections and police have been carried out incessant drives to find out the illegal guns, Shahidul continued.
