The Bangladesh government has authorized the army to exercise magisterial powers in six districts – Dhaka, Chattogram, Gazipur, Narayanganj, Gopalganj, and Faridpur – from June 22nd to 30th. This decision comes as the country prepares for the anniversary of the Awami League, a political party whose activities are currently restricted. The deployment aims to maintain law and order during the potentially sensitive period. Army officials will be empowered to enforce regulations and address potential unrest within the designated areas. The Ministry of Public Administration issued a notification formalizing these powers. This move signifies heightened security measures in anticipation of possible demonstrations or disruptions related to the anniversary celebrations. The government has not specified the exact nature of potential threats prompting the deployment.
