Tejgaon Thana, Administrative district in central Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Tejgaon Thana is an administrative district in central Dhaka with a mix of industrial zones, commercial areas, and educational institutions spread throughout its urban landscape. The region is well-connected by roads that link major neighborhoods like Kawran Bazar and Nakhalpara to surrounding areas.
This district was established in 1953 and served as an important administrative center for the region. In 2006, authorities separated part of the area to create Tejgaon Industrial Area Thana as a distinct administrative division.
Different religious communities live side by side in this area, with mosques, temples, and churches serving as focal points for their daily spiritual practices. These spaces shape how neighborhoods function and how people gather together.
The area is easy to navigate thanks to its network of main roads and local streets connecting different neighborhoods. The dense urban layout means important locations are relatively close to one another, making it convenient to move around.
Until 1981, this district was home to Bangladesh's main international airport, which served as the country's primary gateway for air travel. The airport's relocation marked a major shift in the area's role and development.
