Dhaka South City Corporation

Dhaka South City Corporation (Bengali: ঢাকা দক্ষিণ সিটি কর্পোরেশন: in short-DSCC), is a local government authority responsible for administering all civic services in southern part of Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. The DSCC government is elected by popular vote every five years. The corporation is headed by a mayor, who oversees a council consisting of 100 councillors representing different wards of the city. The functions and powers of the DSCC are defined under the provisions of The City Corporation Act, 2009.

Dhaka South City Corporation is one of the two municipal corporations in Dhaka created when the former Dhaka City Corporation (first declared in 1864) was divided into two by the Local Government (City Corporation) Amendment Bill 2011 on 29 November 2011, passed in the Parliament of Bangladesh, following the President's approval. Dhaka South has a long history, including that of European arrival and colonization. The area was initially 45 km2, but expanded in 2017 to 109.2 km2 and Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) published Population and Housing Census 2022 count at 4,305,063 giving the city a density of 39,409 people per km2.

Dhaka South was the center of the events which eventually led to the Bangladesh War of Independence.
