Bogura City Corporation (Bengali: বগুড়া সিটি কর্পোরেশন: in short-BgCC), is an upcoming local governing body that manages all civic services in the Bogura city of Bangladesh. The BgCC government is elected by popular vote every five years. It is headed by a mayor, who presides over 28 councillors. It follows The City Corporation act, 2009 and derives most of its powers from it. It is the 13th and newest city corporation of Bangladesh.[1][2][3][4][5]
History
[edit]In 1876, Bogura Municipality was formed to manage the ancient city and commercial center of Bogura. At the time of its establishment, its area was 1.25 square km and its population was only 7 thousand. Later, on 1 August 1981, it was upgraded to Class 'A' and its area was extended to 14.76 square km. In 2006, the area of Bogura Municipality increased to 69.56 square km. Bogura Municipality was the largest municipality in Bangladesh, before being a city corporation. [6]
When the city corporation will officially start its activities, Bogura City Corporation will be the 13th city corporation of Bangladesh. On 27 April 2025, Ministry of Local Government, Rural Development and Co-operatives published a gazette to notify that Bogura Municipality has been updated to a city corporation.[2]
