Mohammadpur Thana, Administrative thana in Dhaka Metropolitan Area, Bangladesh
Description
Mohammadpur Thana is an administrative district in Dhaka with wide streets and mixed residential areas situated between the Turag River and neighboring zones. The area contains schools, mosques, temples, and commercial sections that serve everyday activities.
History
The district was established in 1976 as a structured administrative zone, transforming informal neighborhoods into an organized territory. This formation allowed for planned commercial growth and infrastructure development across the area.
Culture
The Geneva Camp shelters communities originally from Bihar who arrived during the 1947 partition and continue practicing their own customs today. You can see how these residents have maintained distinct ways of living and cultural practices within the neighborhood.
Practical
The area has various routes and public transport options, but main streets can get crowded during peak hours. It is best to explore early in the day or use quieter side roads when possible.
