The municipality office started functioning as an independent upazila in rented houses in 2006. There has been an acute shortage of space. About 200 employees attend offices in a miserable condition.
The UNO, chairman, vice-chairman and employees of other 15 departments have been discharging their duties at ‘Pourabhaban’. Medical service is being hampered greatly. There is no full-fledged hospital. The doctors, nurses and other employees of the local hospital attend office at a rented house. Police station is accommodated in a dilapidated rented house. In the absence of a rest house at Dhanbari, most of the employees attend offices coming either from Madhupur or Jamalpur hampering necessary service to the people.
