Ashulia is a suburban area near Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh.
A thana (political subdivision) under Dhaka district has been established here in the recent years.
Environmentalists and some non-governmental organizations in Bangladesh have expressed concern over rapid urbanization of Ashulia specially in the context of ongoing real estate development projects in the area.
Most of Ashulia is now owned by the garment factories or land developers.
In recent years, it has lost most of its farmland because of the bricks field business.
