Desk News || The government is planning to establish two new administrative divisions. They are Faridpur and Comilla. Along with this, it has been decided to form two new upazilas. The National Implementation Committee on Administrative Reorganization (NICAR) meeting may be held next month, where a final decision will be taken on the matter, the NICAR secretary said.According to sources, the NICAR meeting may be held in the first week of October after the Chief Advisor returns to the country after the UN General Assembly.Earlier, in the pre-NICAR meeting held on September 8 under the chairmanship of Cabinet Secretary Abdur Rashid, a preliminary decision was made to form two new administrative divisions and two new upazilas named after Faridpur and Comilla cities.The Public Administration Reforms Commission has already proposed the formation of Faridpur division with Faridpur, Madaripur, Rajbari, Gopalganj and Shariatpur districts and Brahmanbaria, Comilla, Chandpur, Feni, Lakshmipur and Noakhali for the Comilla division.Currently, there are a total of 8 administrative divisions in the country: Dhaka, Chittagong, Rajshahi, Khulna, Barisal, Sylhet, Rangpur and Mymensingh. The government upgraded Mymensingh to a division in 2015.It has been decided to form two new upazilas by splitting Muradnagar in Comilla and Fatikchhari in Chittagong. The Cabinet Division has finalized a draft proposal to form a new upazila called 'Bangra Upazila' from 10 unions of Bangra Thana in Muradnagar Upazila and 'Fatikkhari Uttar' from Fatikchhari. Currently, there are a total of 22 unions under Muradnagar Upazila.It is worth noting that in the NICAR meeting held on November 27, 2022, a proposal to establish 'Padma Division' with some districts of Greater Faridpur and 'Meghna Division' with Comilla and surrounding districts was raised, but final approval was not received.According to Cabinet Division sources, the proposal to establish the division was postponed due to fears of economic crisis. Even in the current situation, discussions and criticisms are ongoing about the need for a new department.
