খালিশপুর, খুলনা

On the outskirts of the Bhairab and Rupsha rivers is located the Khalishpur thana. It is one of the Metropolitan thanas under the Khulna City Corporation (KCC) of the Khulna Division. The geographical area of Khalishpur is 12.35 sq./km.

And here is more of the Khalishpur area guide. According to data from the Khulna Metropolitan Police, there are more than 235,000 people living in the area.

Since it is located in the central Khulna district, Khalishpur is an area of growing community, business, and amenities. The Dhaka-Jessore-Khulna Road goes through the middle of the city and offers major transportation facilities. It connects the area to other major locations, such as Daultour, Khulna Cantonment, Boyra, Natun Rastar Mor, etc.

However, despite the facilities it offers, the Sheikh Abu Naser Bypass Road, which was to be another major road in the city, has been abandoned for around 13 years. This has been causing some issues with the residents around the area to move around comfortably. On top of that, the poor condition of the road often causes minor to major accidents.

The Khalishpur area has around 30 mosques, 2 temples, and 1 church. The main sources of income in the area are business, transport and construction, rents, remittance, etc.

While there aren’t many residential areas in the area, the Khalishpur Housing State is one of the well-planned residential areas in this country. Along with the vibrant and changing living conditions, Khalishpur offers modern amenities, such as the Liberty Cineplex, Wonderland Amusement Park, Sheikh Abu Naser Stadium, Rupsha Power Plant, etc.

Other significant locations include Newsprint Paper Mill, Khulna Junction, Khulna Railway Station, Khalishpur High School, Khulna Public College, Khalishpur Eidgah Field, etc. A location of natural beauty, Khalishpur is slowly transforming into one of the urbanized locations in Khulna.
