Department of Military Lands and Cantonments is the government department responsible for the land management of cantonments in Bangladesh. Shamim Ahmed is the current Director General of Department of Military Lands and Cantonments.
History Department of Military Lands and Cantonments was established on 15 August 1970 in Dhaka as a Directorate. It was fully upgraded to a department in 1982. The department manages the lands through three circles. The circles are North circle in Bogra, Central circle in Dhaka, and Eastern circle in Chittagong. Each cantonment is managed by a cantonment board.
On 20 April 2009, the Department of Military Lands and Cantonments sent a notice to Khaleda Zia, former Prime Minister of Bangladesh, to evict her cantonment residence which was given to her after the assassination of her husband, President Ziaur Rahman. Khaledia Zia challenged the notice at Bangladesh High court which ruled against her, stating that the allotment of the house inside Dhaka cantonment was illegal. On 14 November 2010, she vacated her house in Dhaka Cantonment.
