Jhilmil
Jhilmil Residential Area is a residential housing project developed in Keraniganj Upazila by Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha (Capital Development Authority) as a suburb of Dhaka.[1][2]
History
The project was founded in 1997, adjacent to the Dhaka-Mawa Highway in Keraniganj. It has a total of 1,635 plots for housing, and Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha plans to build 12,000 apartments.[3][4] After the fall of the Sheikh Hasina-led Awami League government, the contract with BNG Global Holdings and Consortium, signed in 2017, to construct 14,000 residential apartments was cancelled.[5] The decision was taken by Finance Minister Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury.[5][6]
The proposed Mass Rapid Transit will include a station for line 1.[7] The project has been included in a future ring road around Dhaka.[8] The project is smaller than other Rajuk housing projects.[9]
