The ship carrying the Bangladeshis will bring back Myanmar security personnel who crossed the border recently amid fighting with rebels
The incident took place outside ‘Jarina Shikder School’ at Ward-14 of Dhaka South around 1pm while elections were being held at Dhaka’s two city corporations on Tuesday.
Police intervened to stop the fighting between supporters of Awami League-backed candidate Md Selim and renegade candidate Ilias Rahman.
Meanwhile, voters complained that ‘they did not get the ballot papers’ at the Jarina Shikder School polling centre.
‘Belal’, a voter in that area, said poll officials told his wife that they had ‘run out of ballots’.
He complained to a magistrate but no action was taken, he said.
