Mymensingh City Corp gets administrator

The government on Tuesday assigned the first administrator for newly formed Mymensingh City Corporation (MCC).

The appointment of the new administrator, Ekramul Haque Titu, was confirmed in a letter signed by ANM Fazlul Haque, deputy secretary of Local Government Division under Ministry of Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives.

Ekramul has been serving as mayor of the now defunct Mymensingh municipality since February 2011.

On April 2, 2018, the municipality was upgraded to the 12th city corporation in the country.

The gazette for the MCC, with around 91 square kilometres of area and a population of around 4,50,000, was published on October 14. A mayor and councillors for the city will have to be elected in an election within 180 days of the gazette publication.
