Re-polling in 10 centres of Chhagalnaiya Upazila (UZ) Parishad will be held tomorrow. Polling in those centres was postponed due to untoward incidents on January 22. Later, the Election Commission (EC) formed an investigation committee with the district and sessions judge as its head. After an inquiry, the committee found irregularities in voting at the centres and suggested to hold fresh polls. A total of 19 candidates are in the race. Of them, eight are vying for chairman post, seven for vice-chairman (male) and four for vice-chairman (female) posts. The district administration has taken allout preparations to hold the reelection in a free, fair and peaceful manner. A magistrate and 13 policemen will be deployed in each centre. Besides, mobile police teams and striking forces will also be deployed to maintain the law and order during re-election.
