Looted arms to be recovered before polls, Jahangir Alam hopes

Home Affairs Adviser Lieutenant General Md. Jahangir Alam Chowdhury (Retd) has said that law enforcement agencies are working to recover the looted arms, which is an ongoing process. 

"Before the election, we are hoping to recover almost all the arms," he said after visiting the Bangladesh Agricultural Development Corporation's (BADC) cold storage, central seed testing laboratory, and vegetable seed processing centre on Saturday. Jahangir Alam is also the adviser of the Ministry of Agriculture.

He said that all necessary preparations are being undertaken for the upcoming national parliamentary election, in line with the timeline announced by Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus.

"We're preparing for the election in the way it needs to be done. We will have no difficulty in preparing for the election scheduled for next February," he said. 

The adviser added, "Now the people, political parties, and the media - all are election-focused. No conspiracy will succeed in disrupting this."

The Home Affairs Adviser said that compared to the past, the border is now much more secure, and people living in border areas are also more aware.

He added that, in the past, people could not express their opinions freely, but now they are able to write a lot of things on social media platforms like Facebook.
