{{Politics of Bangladesh}}

An '''''upazila''''' ({{langx|bn|উপজেলা|upajēlā|lit=sub-district}} <small>pronounced:</small> {{IPA|bn|'upodʒela|}}), formerly called '''''thana''''', is an [[administrative division]] in Bangladesh, functioning as a sub-unit of a [[districts of Bangladesh|district]]. It can be seen as an analogous to a [[county]] or a [[borough]] of Western countries. Rural upazilas are further administratively divided into [[Union councils of Bangladesh|union council areas]] (union parishads).

Bangladesh has 495 upazilas.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.thedailystar.net/news/bangladesh/governance/news/govt-create-3-new-upazilas-three-districts-2137696 | title=Govt to form 3 new upazilas in three districts | work=[[The Daily Star (Bangladesh)]] | date=27 July 2021 | access-date=20 October 2022 | archive-date=30 August 2021 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210830215116/https://www.thedailystar.net/news/bangladesh/governance/news/govt-create-3-new-upazilas-three-districts-2137696 | url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bangladesh.gov.bd/site/view/upazila-list |title=upazila List |publisher=[[Bangladesh National Portal]] |access-date=10 August 2015 |archive-date=10 July 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190710162631/http://bangladesh.gov.bd/site/view/upazila-list |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=New upazila to be formed in Comilla |url=http://en.ntvbd.com/bangladesh/45201/New-upazila-to-be-formed-in-Comilla |publisher=[[NTV (Bangladesh)]] |date=9 January 2017 |access-date=20 June 2017 |archive-date=16 April 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210416014040/https://en.ntvbd.com/bangladesh/45201/New-upazila-to-be-formed-in-Comilla |url-status=live }}</ref> The upazilas are the second lowest tier of regional administration in Bangladesh. The administrative structure consists of divisions (8), districts (64), upazilas (495) and union parishads (UPs). This system of [[devolution]] was introduced by the former military ruler and [[president of Bangladesh]], [[Hossain Mohammad Ershad|Lt-Gen Hossain Muhammad Ershad]], in an attempt to strengthen local government.

Below UPs, villages (''gram'') and ''para'' exist, but these have no administrative power and elected members. The Local Government [[local ordinance|Ordinance]] of 1982 was amended a year later, redesignating and upgrading the existing ''thanas'' as ''upazilas''.<ref name=Banglapedia>{{Cite Banglapedia|article=Local Government}}</ref>

== History ==
{{further|Thanas of Bangladesh}}
Upazilas were formerly known as ''thana'', which literally means police station. Despite the meaning, thanas functioned much as an administrative and geographic region, much as today's upazilas. In 1982, thanas were re-termed to as upazilas with provisions for semi-autonomous local governance. This system was reverted to the thana system in 1992. Later in 1999, geographic regions under administrations of thanas were converted into upazilas.<ref>{{Cite Banglapedia|article=Thana}}</ref> All administrative terms in this level were renamed from ''thana'' to ''upazila''. For instance, thana nirbahi officer (<small>lit.</small> thana executive officer) was renamed upazila nirbahi officer (<small>lit. </small>upazila executive officer).

The word ''thana'' is now used to solely refer to ''police stations''. Generally, there is one police station for each upazila, but larger administrative units may have more than one police station covering different regions. However, it was complicated again and currently, Upazilas which combinely form "Administrative [[Districts]]" are known as Thanas. 
For example: [[Panchlaish Thana]], [[Double Mooring Thana]] under [[Chittagong]] district.<!-- needs a bit of rework to cover special cases like in Dhaka metropolitan police -->

On 26 July 2021, [[Khandker Anwarul Islam]] announced the renaming of [[Shantiganj Upazila|Dakshin Sunamganj Upazila]] to "''Shantiganj Upazila''" as well as the creation of three new upazilas; [[Eidgaon Upazila]] in [[Cox's Bazar District]], [[Madhyanagar Upazila]] in [[Sunamganj District]] and [[Dasar Upazila]] in [[Madaripur District]].<ref>{{cite news|work=[[Dhaka Tribune]]|title=Three new upazilas in Madaripur, Cox's Bazar and Sunamganj|date=26 July 2021|url=https://www.dhakatribune.com/bangladesh/2021/07/26/three-new-upazilas-in-madaripur-cox-s-bazar-and-sunamganj|access-date=26 July 2021|archive-date=26 July 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210726155536/https://www.dhakatribune.com/bangladesh/2021/07/26/three-new-upazilas-in-madaripur-cox-s-bazar-and-sunamganj|url-status=live}}</ref>

== Administration ==

=== Upazila nirbahi officer ===
{{Main|Upazila Nirbahi Officer}}
Upazila nirbahi officer (UNO, or upazila executive officer; {{langx|bn|উপজেলা নির্বাহী কর্মকর্তা}}) is a non-elected administrator in an ''upazila''. UNOs are senior assistant secretary of Bangladesh Civil Service (Administration) Cadre. They act as executive officer of the upazila under the elected posts.

=== Upazila parishad ===
Each '''upazila parishad''' (or council) has a chairperson called ''chairman'', a ''vice-chairman'' and a ''woman vice-chairman''. All three are elected through direct popular election. [[Union parishad]] chairmen within the upazila are considered as the members of the ''porishod''. The post of a ''woman vice-chairman'' was created to ensure at least one-third woman representation in the all elected posts of the local government.<ref name="DailyStar-1">{{Cite news|title=All about upazila parishad |newspaper=[[The Daily Star (Bangladesh)]] |date=22 January 2009 |url=https://www.thedailystar.net/news-detail-72392 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161205145106/https://www.thedailystar.net/news-detail-72392 |archive-date=5 December 2016 |url-status=live |df=dmy}}</ref>

On 22 January 2010, the first election in 18 years of upazila porishod was held.<ref>{{cite news |title=Upazila polls influenced |url=http://www.thedailystar.net/newDesign/news-details.php?nid=72524 |work=[[The Daily Star (Bangladesh)]] |date=23 January 2009 |access-date=12 July 2011 |archive-date=24 October 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121024171943/http://www.thedailystar.net/newDesign/news-details.php?nid=72524 |url-status=live }}</ref>
