Background of the upazila


Introduction to Titas Upazila

 

Upazila Background: Titas is a newly formed upazila. This upazila was formed in 2004 by cutting 9 unions in the northern part of Gomti river in Daudkandi upazila of Comilla district. The Gauripur-Homna road from the Dhaka-Chittagong highway divides Titas upazila into east and west. From Dhaka or Comilla via Gauripur bus station on the Gauripur-Homna road at a distance of 6 km, you can see the Titas Upazila Complex, which is unique in nature in a breathtaking natural environment. Geographical location of Titas upazila is 56 km from Comilla Sadar and 55 km from the capital Dhaka.

 

   Naming: The movement for the establishment of the present Titas Upazila, known as a neglected and underdeveloped town of Daudkandi Upazila, started almost two decades ago. Initially, demands were raised for the establishment of "Pir Shahbaz Nagar" police station and later for the upazila, but in the final stage, the former minister and MP Dr. Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain proposed the name 'Titus'. The name of this upazila has been changed to "Titas Upazila" after the name of Titas, which flows through the chests of the five unions of this upazila.

 

    Creation of the Upazila: At the Nikar meeting held on 22 February 2004, it was decided to form a separate administrative unit called "Titas Upazila" by cutting 9 unions in Daudkandi Upazila of Comilla District. Titas Upazila was declared as a full-fledged upazila in a circular issued by the Local Government Department under the Ministry of Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives of the Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh on March 30 of the same year and was published in additional issues in the Bangladesh Gazette on April 4, 2004.

 

  Geographical Location: Titas Upazila is located at the north-western end of Comilla district at 23 degrees 40 minutes east longitude. The Kathalia river flows through the southern and eastern sides of the upazila.

 

   It is bounded by homna on the north, daudkandi on the south, muradnagar on the east and meghna upazila on the west.

 

   Total area: 108.19 sq. Km

Places of interest:

  Majidpur zamindar house

 

The zamindar house of Majidpur is notable as a place of interest in Titas upazila. At present all the buildings of the zamindar's house are in dilapidated condition. However, the buildings are quite inlaid and various entities can be found. There are also tunnels between the buildings.

 

Summary: In the early days of the English period, Lord Corswallis abolished the feudal system and introduced the zamindari system. Due to their hostility towards the Muslims of that time, the English gave zamindari to the people of Hindu intelligentsia and vassal class. Greater Daudkandi was a Muslim-dominated area and had no influential zamindars. Daudkandi Pargana to be administered under Hindu zamindars in Sonargaon. However, traces of Hindu zamindar houses at Majidpur in Titas still exist. Out of the total 18 buildings of the zamindar's house, 3 have been demolished. There are 1 lake and about 20 ponds around the zamindar's house. It is known that at the beginning of the zamindari rule, the first man of the Majidpur zamindar's house, Shri Ramlochan Bai, came and settled in Majidpur. They had zamindari as far as Meghna, Titas, Homna and Muradnagar.
