Chandpur administrative history

After the defeat of Nawab Siraj Uddaul in the Battle of Plassey in 1757, the political influence of the English was established in Bengal and Bihar. In the battle of Buxar in 1764, Mir Qasim and his allied army were finally defeated to the English. After the Battle of Buxar, Lord Clive Nawab Sirajuddaula and emperor Shah Alam were arrested in Allahabad in 1765 AD. Emperor Shah Alam donated the East India Company to the Diwani of Bengal Bihar on 12 August 1765 in a Farman. During this period Tripura and Comilla states belonged to Suba and were under the rule of Nawab of Murshidabad. After getting the East India Company Diwani, this area is naturally included in the company's revenue regime. In 1772, the company abolished the position of the naib dewan and took the responsibility of revenue collection directly. Nawab of Murshidabad was exempted from the responsibility of governing the government and the company directly took over the rule of Bengal Bihar.

After the investigation, Mr. Patterson recommended the formation of a district collectorate for the construction of an administrative unit near the people of this area, under the resident of John Bular under Comilla resident Ganganakshaks Baladakhal, Daudkandi and Bhulua Parganas. The Board of Revenue accepted the recommendation. Based on recommendations of Mr. Patterson, Tripura district was formed in 1790 and John Buller was its first collector.

Later on the administrative reorganization, Chandpur subdivision was formed on 1 June 1878 in the southern part of the Tripura district. Mr. KC Das Gupta, an Indian Civil Servant, was appointed the first subdivision administrator of Chandpur. There are several changes later in the map of Chandpur. On October 18, 1927, JL Number 120, 123, 124 mouzas from Chandpur Police station were connected to Bhedarganj Police Station in the then Faridpur district. On March 21, 1929, the JL number of Gosairhat Police station was added to the Chandpur thana on 350-357 mouza. On July 5, 1930 and July 1, 1931, JL no-358-364 mouza of Rajbari police station was attached to Chandpur Police Station.
