Aftab Nagar (originally known as Jahurul Islam City)[1] is a neighbourhood in Dhaka that is initiated by Eastern Housing Limited.

It is believed that the area still holds the lush green environment of Dhaka.

[5][6][7] Right next door to Aftabnagar, is the Meradia Haat; which is one of the known marts of Dhaka for vegetables, meat and groceries.

Aftabnagar also has a Khal that connects the waterbody of Hatirjheel to the Balu river, this canal allows the traders of meradia haat easily transport their goods and this 'khal' is what borders Aftabnagar to Banasree and connects with each other by bamboo bridges known as 'Basher Shako'.

[8] Aftabnagar also has a cattle mart that sets in the season of Qurbani.
