There is no need of army deployment in the imminent Rangpur City Corporation polls, said Chief Election Commissioner KM Nurul Huda on Thursday.

“The election will be free, fair and a credible one,” the CEC told the reporters after a meeting with the various law enforcement agencies.

He also said currently mobile court is operating under the leadership of 22 magistrates and from Friday there will be a mobile court in every ward.

Issuing a cautionary note, Huda said action must be taken immediately if anyone violates electoral rule of law. “All the measures will be taken to hold a free and fair election.

Electronic Voting Machine will be used in one polling station but it depends on the local people. “If voters want, then EVM will be used, otherwise not.” Huda said replying to a query.
