Khilkhet, Dhaka

One notable administrative area in Dhaka, Bangladesh is Khilkhet Thana. It has a total area of 15.88 square kilometers (6.13 sq mi). On June 27th, 2005, Khilkhet separated from the southern parts of Badda Thana as a sign of its focused administration on urbanization and demographic challenges. Strategically located with Dhakshinkhan and Uttar Khan thana to the north, Badda thana to the south, Cantonment thana to the west and Bimanbandar thana to the northwest makes it clear that it is bordered by Turag River in the east dividing it from Rupganj Upazila of Narayanganj District. This shows that Nikunja-1 and Nikunja-2 are close to the Khilkhet Thana building as they are residential areas closest to this location.

According to Khilkhet area guide, this region is a part of Ward No. 17 under Dhaka North City Corporation covering portions of Dakshinkhan union and Dumni union which further speaks about its administrative importance as well as geographical reach within city’s urban fabric.The creation of Khilkhet thana did simplify governance in this rapidly growing locality but also boosted local development with regard to infrastructure as well as public services for their diverse population needs.

Khilkhet fully caters to its dwellers’ various requirements. However, more lifestyle facilities are required at the place considering that its population is continuously growing. Installation of surveillance cameras within the neighborhood together with a quick response team will increase the security level thus improving the minds of all who reside there.
