Voters are exercising their franchise in the election to
Cumilla City Corporation on Wednesday.
The voting began at 8am and will continue until 4pm without
any break.
A total of 2,29,920 voters will exercise their voting right
through EVM in 105 centres. There are 640 booths in 105 polling stations.
Five candidates are vying for the office of mayor.
It is the third election of the Cumilla City Corporation
after its formation in 2011 while for the first under the new Election
Commission, which will be conducted through Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs)
in its entirety.
Law enforcement agencies have mounted tight security
measures to ensure peaceful holding of much talked-about polls, said
superintendent of Cumilla Police Faruk Ahmed on Tuesday.
The whole city has been brought under security blanket, he
said while speaking at a press briefing on law and order situation ahead of the
polls at Language Movement Hero Drirendanath Datta Stadium.
The law enforcement agencies have done whatever is needed to
ensure security and at least 75 check-posts were installed in the city, he
said.
Over 3,600 members of law enforcement agencies have already
been deployed in the field to maintain law and order, he added.
The last Cumilla city election was held on Mar 30, 2017. BNP
leader Monirul Haque Sakku was elected mayor for the second term.
