History
The Comilla municipality was formed in the mid-1890s and the city remained as a municipality for over 125 years though the number of the population has been rising with time. An administrative proposition, issued from the Comilla district administration, was passed on 20 August 2009. The ministry of local government meeting on 4 March 2011 declared to turn at least four of the populated municipalities into city corporations, largely bringing Comilla as a suggestion as one of the contenders. An administrative move was made on 23 June 2011 abolishing the Comilla Municipality as the final step to introduce the administrative body as a city corporation. Later on 10 July 2011, a ministry gazette named the Comilla Municipality as the new Comilla City Corporation. The city corporation is run by a joint staff of elected public representatives and government officials. Officials both come from departmental recruitment and the administrative cadre service of the country.
