Hatirjheel Thana is a thana in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. It was formed in 2018 with the Hatirjheel project and its surrounding areas. The areas under this thana were earlier under the thanas of Ramna, Tejgaon Industrial Area and Rampura .^[4] Hatirjheel Thana is a part of Dhaka North City Corporation.

Naming and etymology

Legend has it that the elephants of Dhaka's Pilkhana, Dhanmondi used to take baths in these wetlands. Hati (Bengali: হাতি) in Bengali means elephant and Jheel (Bengali: ঝিল) means lake – hence the name Hatirjheel.

History

Previously, the area of Hatirjheel was overlapped by multiple thanas, namely Tejgaon I/A, Ramna, Gulshan, Badda and Rampura. During any incident, it would be confusing to identify the jurisdiction that particular area fell under. To solve this problem many people suggested establishing a thana in the area. Finally, the Hatirjheel Thana was formed as the 50th police station of Dhaka Metropolitan Police on 7 July 2018.^[5]
