The Prime Minister’s Office has directed relevant authorities to complete administrative procedures for declaring Mahipur Police Station in Patuakhali as a full-fledged upazila. The directive, signed by Director General (Administration) Md. Mohiuddin Ahmed on June 7, was sent to the Cabinet Division and other ministries. The move follows a proposal submitted on June 5 by MP A.B.M. Mosharraf Hossain of Patuakhali-4 constituency, seeking to establish Mahipur Upazila comprising four unions and one municipality.
According to the proposal, Mahipur has grown in administrative and economic importance since the establishment of the police station in 2016. The area includes the Mahipur-Alipur fishery port, various government and private offices, banks, educational and health institutions, and the country’s second submarine cable landing station. It also has direct road connectivity to the Kuakata tourist center.
Following the directive, local residents, businesspeople, and community leaders expressed optimism that the new upazila would improve administrative services, enhance law and order, and accelerate regional development in southern Bangladesh.
