Tangail Correspondent :
Delduar, one of the most populous and administratively significant upazilas of Tangail district, has long been deprived of its rightful demand – a separate parliamentary constituency.
Despite having a population of over 220,000 and a vast geographical span, Delduar still remains part of the Tangail-6 constituency, paired with Nagarpur upazila.
Locals claim that this arrangement has resulted in disparities in development and parliamentary representation.
According to the 2022 population census, Delduar has a population of 218,745 and spans 184.54 square kilometers.
It comprises eight unions, numerous villages, markets, educational institutions, and healthcare centers. In terms of population and voter base, Delduar meets all the criteria necessary for an independent parliamentary seat.
Delduar’s long-standing demand has been championed by Ferdous Ahmed, General Secretary of the Delduar Upazila unit of BNP and former Upazila Chairman.
