About Sylhet City Corporation
Sylhet City Corporation administers the metropolitan area of Sylhet, encompassing six thanas: Kotwali Model Thana, South Surma Thana, Moglabazar Thana, Jalalabad Thana, Bimanbandar Thana, and Shah Poran Thana. The city is divided into 42 wards and numerous mahallas.
Urban administration in Sylhet dates back to 1878 when the Sylhet Municipality was established, one of the oldest municipal bodies in present-day Bangladesh. It functioned as a pourashava after 1971 until its upgrade to a city corporation in 2001 under the Local Government (City Corporation) Act.
Sylhet City Corporation received a national award for its success in birth registration activities, registering a high number of children under 45 days of age. The current mayor position is vacant, and the deputy mayor, selected by councillors, assumes mayoral functions in their absence.
