Staff Correspondent: The Election Commission (EC) is mulling to deploy members of armed forces (Army, Navy and Air) on December 24 on the occasion of the 11th general election to be held on December 30.

Members of armed forces will remain in the field for two days after the polls had ended.

It was understood, the EC will take the decision in a meeting with law enforcement agencies on Thursday.

According to EC sources, members of armed forces will be deployed any day of December 24 to December 26. However, they will monitor situations from December 15.

A magistrate will be appointed with every team of armed forces. A letter of the directive has already been sent to the ministry concerned, the sources said.
