Dhaka, Oct 28 (V7N)- To ensure a transparent, peaceful, and secure 13th national election, Chief Advisor Professor Dr. Muhammad Yunus has ordered the rapid purchase of sufficient body-on-cameras for law enforcement agencies.

He issued the directive at a meeting at the State Guest House Jamuna on Tuesday (October 28), emphasizing that all preparations must be completed swiftly to instill voter confidence in a safe and fair election environment.

The Chief Advisor instructed that the procurement and training for body-on-cameras be completed by December, ensuring effective prevention of violence or any undesirable incidents during the election period.
