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[edit]

The project was founded in 1997, adjacent to Dhaka-Mawa Highway in Keraniganj. It has a total of 1,635 plots for housing and Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha plans to build 12 thousand apartments.[3][4] The proposed Mass Rapid Transit will have a station for line 1 in the project.[5] The project has been included in a future ring road around Dhaka.[6] The project is comparatively smaller than other housing projects of Rajuk.[7]
