Boundaries

union parishads of Narsingdi Sadar Upazila: Amdia, Meher Para, and Panchdona.[2][3]

History

The constituency was created in 1984 from the Dhaka-25 constituency when the former Dhaka District was split into six districts: Manikganj, Munshiganj, Dhaka, Gazipur, Narsingdi, and Narayanganj.

Ahead of the

2001 Bangladesh census.[4] The 2008 redistricting altered the boundaries of the constituency.[5]
