The Department of Off-site Supervision instructs all scheduled banks operating in Bangladesh to close branches located in specific polling stations or designated election areas during the Pourashava (municipal) elections on March 31, 2021. This directive applies to polling stations in Sujannagar (Pabna), Jessore (Jessore), Dewanganj (Jamalpur), and Kalakini (Madaripur), as well as branches in adjacent Pourashavas, upazilas, or districts where voters reside. Banks are required to facilitate the exercise of voting rights for voters in these areas by ensuring branch closures at polling sites and providing necessary accommodations for voters in nearby branches.
