CEC seeks field-level officials' assistance to conduct free, fair polls

Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Kazi Habibul Awal on Friday said not only the CEC but also the assistance of field level officials are required for holding a free, fair and peaceful national election, reports BSS.
"Our message is that election must be held peacefully and free from violence, but it will not be possible by the CEC alone without the help of the district administration and law enforcement agencies", he said.
The CEC made the comments while addressing the training programme of the field level administrative officials at Agargaon in the city on Friday.
A total of 114 filed level officials, including divisional commissioners, deputy commissioners (DCs), superintendent of Police (SPs) and police commissioners of 32 districts participated in the two-day residential training programme.
