Home Ministry seeks transfer of 63 more police inspectors

The Ministry of Home Affairs has sought approval from the Election Commission (EC) to transfer 63 more police inspectors ahead of the upcoming 12th Jatiya Sangsad (JS) polls.

A letter signed by Sirajam Munira, Deputy Secretary of Public Security Division of the Home Ministry, was sent to the EC in this regard on Friday.  

Earlier on December 7, the EC approved the transfer of officers-in-charge (OCs) of 338 police stations.

On 6 December, a list of OCs of 338 police stations from the Ministry of Home Affairs was sent to the EC seeking its approval for their transfer to smoothly conduct the upcoming national polls. 

On 30 October, the EC asked the home ministry and public administration ministry to transfer all OCs and UNOs to help conduct the upcoming election fairly.

It also directed the ministries to seek its permission for transferring OCs stationed in the same workplace for more than six months and UNOs stationed in the same workplace for more than a year by 5 December.
