Army to be deployed in Dhaka, 5 other areas over fears of AL unrest

The government has ordered the deployment of
army personnel across three metropolitan cities, including Dhaka and three
districts, citing apprehensions of potential sabotage and unlawful activities
by leaders and activists of the banned Awami League.
According to an official letter issued by the
Ministry of Home Affairs today (22 June), the troops will remain deployed until
30 June.
The designated deployment areas cover the Dhaka
Metropolitan Police, Chattogram Metropolitan Police, Gazipur Metropolitan
Police, and Narayanganj, Gopalganj, and Faridpur districts.
The development follows a nationwide alert issued by Police
Headquarters over potential clashes ahead of the Awami League's founding
anniversary tomorrow (23 June).
In a notification signed by DIG Kamrul Ahasan
last week, Police Headquarters instructed unit heads across the country to
remain highly vigilant.
The notification warned that Awami League
activists might attempt to hoist party flags at local offices and hold
processions, which could trigger violent confrontations with rival political
platforms, specifically members of the National Citizen Party (NCP) and the
Students Against Discrimination platform.
The directive cautioned that activists of the
banned political party could turn hostile towards law enforcement if
intercepted.
