The government has decided in principle to form Savar City Corporation by merging Savar municipality and Ashulia, according to a Facebook post by LGRD Adviser Asif Mahmud Shojib Bhuyain.
The adviser also said the government plans to upgrade Keraniganj to an "Ka" category municipality or bring it under the jurisdiction of the Dhaka South City Corporation.
Savar and Ashulia, both key industrial and residential areas on Dhaka's outskirts, have witnessed rapid growth over the past decade.
If implemented, Savar will become the 13th city corporation in Bangladesh and the fifth within the greater Dhaka region, alongside Dhaka North, Dhaka South, Gazipur, and Narayanganj.
