Dhupguri subdivision

Dhupguri subdivision is an administrative division of Jalpaiguri district in the state of West Bengal, India.

Following the death of Bishnu Pada Roy, a local Bharatiya Janata Party MLA from Dhupguri, a by-election was held in 2023.

The ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) government promised that if they won the seat, they would establish a separate subdivision within three months.

After TMC won the seat, the state assembly passed the motion to form the subdivision on 12 October 2023.

[1][2] The subdivision will be carved out of Dhupguri town, Banarhat block, and parts of Malbazar.
