Geography: The city has no officially defined geographical limits. Since the 1980s the city has
expanded with fast urbanisation. Mymensingh city is clearly marked by the old Brahmaputra river
flowing along its north. Shambhuganj is situated on the other side of the Brahmaputra, connected by
the Shambhuganj Bridge. Other ends of the city are marked respectively by the beginning of the
Agricultural University campus, the Medical College, Army cantonment and, finally, Sultanabad, a
township built for the followers of Aga Khan. A railway line connecting Dhaka with northern districts,
built between 1885 and 1899,[10] passes through the city and divides it into two sides.
The climate of Mymensingh is moderate, much cooler than Dhaka, as it is closer to the Himalayas.
The monsoon starts in May or June and continues till August. It rains heavily and sometimes for
days and weeks. During the monsoon, the temperature varies between 15 and 20 degrees. The
temperature falls below 15 °C (59 °F) in winter which is spread over December and January and
may well include November and February. The highest temperature is felt during April–May period,
when the temperature may be as high as 40 °C (104 °F). High humidity causes heavy sweating
during this period. For western travellers, the best time to visit is between November and February.
Economy: Historically, Mymensingh district was known for jute production which was termed
'golden fibre' due to revenue it generated as a cash crop. Due to the high demand for polythene
bags and other economic reasons, the jute industry has significantly declined. As Mymensingh is
the capital of Mymensingh Division, government employees make up a large percentage of the
city's workforce. Mymensingh also has a large unskilled and semi-skilled labour population, who
primarily earn their livelihood as hawkers, Rickshaw pullers, taxi drivers, mechanics and other
such professions. Agriculture is the most important sector contributing to GDP, followed by the
growing service sector in the city. The increasing demand for fish in the local and global markets
has generated a new opportunity for local fishermen as well as businessmen to exploit fishing in
Mymensingh, and today it is very important to the economy. People have changed their paddy
fields to ponds and are cultivating fish. Prawns, sometimes reaching a very large size in the
winter, are sold in Mymensingh in great numbers.
Administration: Mymensingh Sadar has 20 Unions/Wards, 213 Mauzas/Mahallas, and 173
villages. The City council (Nagar Parishad) is river side center of Mymensingh established by
colonial native kings.
Local Government: A local government is a form of public administration which, in a majority
of contexts, exists as the lowest tier of administration within a given state. The term is used to
contrast with offices at state level, which are referred to as the central government, national
government, or (where appropriate) federal government and also to supranational government
which deals with governing institutions between states. Local governments generally act within
powers delegated to them by legislation or directives of the higher level of government. In
federal states, local government generally comprises the third (or sometimes fourth) tier of
government, whereas in unitary states, local government usually occupies the second or third tier
of government, often with greater powers than higher-level administrative divisions.
The question of municipal autonomy is a key question of public administration and governance.
The institutions of local government vary greatly between countries, and even where similar
arrangements exist, the terminology often varies. Common names for local government entities
include state, province, region, department, county, prefecture, district, city, township, town,
borough, parish, municipality, shire, village, and local service [Link] local government of

Overview:
In many countries, a mayor is the highest-ranking official in a municipal government such as that
of a city or a town.
Worldwide, there is a wide variance in local laws and customs regarding the powers and
responsibilities of a mayor as well as the means by which a mayor is elected or otherwise
mandated. Depending on the system chosen, a mayor may be the chief executive officer of the
municipal government, may simply chair a multi-member governing body with little or no
independent power, or may play a solely ceremonial role. Options for selection of a mayor
include direct election by the public, or selection by an elected governing.
