DHAKA: The Election Commission (EC) has taken a primary decision about army deployment in the impending city corporation polls.

Wishing anonymity, an election commissioner confirmed the matter to banglanews after a meeting of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) with other four commissioners at the EC Secretariat at Sher-e-Bangla Nagar in city Monday noon.

He further said they were preparing files to send letter to armed forces about deploying army.

The letter would be sent if majority of the election commissioners nod the proposal, he added.

As per schedule announced by EC, the Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC), Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) and Chittagong City Corporation (CCC) polls will be held on April 28.
