The government has appointed new administrators to five other city corporations in the country, including Comilla. Comilla Metropolitan BNP General Secretary Md. Yusuf Molla (Tipu) has been appointed as the administrator of Comilla City Corporation. BNP leaders and activists have expressed excitement over Yusuf Molla's appointment as the administrator. In an immediate reaction, Md. Yusuf Molla told Prothom Alo that he will work to relieve the city residents from the suffering of traffic congestion after taking charge.
Yusuf Mollah is the son of Abdul Gafur Mollah of Dakshin Chartha area of Comilla city. He was elected general secretary unopposed at the biennial conference of Comilla Metropolitan BNP held in 2025. Earlier, he served as the member secretary of Metropolitan BNP since 2022.
Md. Yusuf Molla, the newly appointed administrator of Cumilla City Corporation, has said that reducing traffic congestion in the city will be one of his main priorities.
What the new administrator said
He plans to work with traffic police, transport leaders, and city officials to manage vehicle movement better.
The aim is to reduce daily traffic jams that cause suffering for residents.
Measures may include better traffic management, stricter control of illegal parking, and improved road coordination.
Why traffic is a big issue in the city
Traffic congestion has long been a major problem in Cumilla.
For example, areas around the Shashongacha flyover and bus terminal often experience severe jams due to:
buses stopping randomly on the road
autorickshaws parking illegally
narrow connecting roads and poor traffic management.
These issues sometimes cause vehicles to remain stuck for 40 minutes to more than an hour in busy parts of the city.
Role of the administrator
Since the mayor’s position is currently vacant, the city administration is being run by an appointed administrator who oversees civic services, infrastructure, and urban management.
✅ In short: The new administrator, Md. Yusuf Molla, has promised to focus on reducing traffic congestion and improving traffic discipline to make daily travel easier for Cumilla residents.
