About Gazipur City Corporation
Gazipur City Corporation administers a large metropolitan area covering 329.23 square kilometers within the Gazipur District of the Dhaka Division. It is bordered by multiple thanas, including Bason, Gacha, Joydebpur, Kashimpur, Konabari, Pubail, Tongi East, and Tongi West. The area is served by eight metropolitan police stations.
Gazipur City Corporation was established on 16 January 2013 through a gazette notification, merging the former Gazipur Municipality (established in 1986) and Tongi Municipality (established in 1974), along with adjacent rural areas. This decision responded to rapid urban growth and the need for strengthened local governance.
The city corporation area encompasses several important educational and research institutions, including the Islamic University of Technology (IUT), Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University (BSMRAU), and the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI). These institutions contribute to the area's intellectual and agricultural development.
Important establishments within the city corporation area include the Bangabandhu Safari Park, Security Printing Press Ltd., and several government schools and colleges like Rani Bilashmoni Govt. Boys' High School and Joydebpur Govt. Girls' High School. The city is administered through 57 wards, each represented by an elected councillor.
