Election Commission Secretary Helaluddin Ahmed has instructed the local polls observers not to talk to media on the day of the 11th parliamentary elections.
The secretary gave the instruction on Tuesday while briefing local election observers about the rules and regulations while performing duties during the election, reports UNB.
"The election observers must stay at polling stations like statues, even if there're irregularities," he said.
Besides, Helaluddin said, they will not be allowed to enter the polling stations with mobile phones and restricted polling rooms to take pictures.
In the polling centres, only the police who will be in charge and presiding officers will be able to carry their phones inside, he added.
The EC secretary also warned them not to perform such activities for which their registration might be cancelled.
A total of 118 organisations have so far been registered with the EC to monitor the election.
The 11th parliamentary elections are scheduled to be held on December 30.
