NICAR’s conditional approval to Faridpur

National Implementation Committee for Administrative Reform (NICAR) conditionally approved on Monday formation of Faridpur City Corporation (FCC), seven new police stations and one municipality in its meeting with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in the chair, reports BSS.

"The NICAR gave approval to 15 proposals including conditional formation of Faridpur City Corporation (FCC), seven new police stations and one municipality," Cabinet Secretary Mohammad Shafiul Alam told a news briefing at the Secretariat after the meeting at PMO.

Replying to a query about announcing Cumilla and Gazipur as city corporations although they are not divisions, he said, "It was made in the past. But it will not happen in the future as there is a guideline of not forming any city corporation without being a divisional city. Divisional headquarters will be formed as city corporations."

So, Faridpur City Corporation will soon be formed after it is turned into a division, he added.

The police stations which got NICAR approval include Padma Bridge Uttar, Padma Bridge Dakkhin, Darshana in Chuadanga, Bhulli in Thakurgaon.
