About Rajshahi City Corporation

Rajshahi City Corporation is a local government authority administering the city of Rajshahi, located in the Rajshahi district of the Rajshahi Division. The incorporated area currently consists of 30 wards and four thanas: Boalia, Motihar, Rajpara, and Shah Makhdum.

The origins of the City Corporation date back to 1 August 1876, when it was established as the Rajshahi Municipality (Rampur-Boalia Municipality). Initially, a seven-member town committee led by the principal of Rajshahi College was formed, later transitioning to elected members. It gained status as the Rajshahi Municipality Corporation on 13 August 1987, and was subsequently renamed Rajshahi City Corporation.

The current area of Rajshahi City Corporation is 96.72 square kilometers, according to the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS).

The Rajshahi City Corporation is governed by an elected mayor and a council of 40 councillors representing different wards. The next election is scheduled for 2023.
