No Oikyafront polling agents seen in Dhaka

Dhaka, Dec 30 (Just News): There were no polling agents of main opposition parties anywhere throughout Dhaka.

Our correspondents went about several constituencies in the capital, but could only find polling agents of Awami League everywhere wearing the badge of the ‘boat’.

Dhaka -10

Our correspondent visited Kakoli High School, Dhaka City College, Teachers’ Training College, Dhaka College, University Laboratory School and College, Dhanmondi Government Boys School and College, New Model School and College voting centres.

While plenty of ‘boat’ supporters were seen displaying badges, only the centre at Dhaka City College, where Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina cast her vote, had one or two polling agents of ‘Tiger’ and ‘hand fan’ there.

Dhaka -13

Our correspondent visited Mohammadpur Government Primary School, Mohammadpur Girls High School, and Rayerbazar Community Centre polling stations in the constituency which is witnessing electronic voting for the first time.

There too, no opposition polling agents could be seen anywhere. However, ruling party supporters and polling agents were found roaming around aplenty.

Dhaka -12

Our correspondent visited Ispahani School, and Viquarunnisa Noon School voting centres. No polling agents other than those from the ruling Awami League could be seen there in the morning.

Dhaka-16

Our correspondent visited five polling centres including Rashid Ideal High School and Al Quran Academy and found only one polling agent of the ‘sheaf of paddy’ who did not seem very convincing.
