Maijdee Court (Bengali: মাইজদী কোর্ট), or just Maijdee (Bengali: মাইজদী), is a city in Noakhali District, located in south-eastern Bangladesh. It contains the administrative headquarters of Noakhali District in Chattogram Division, Bangladesh.[2] The governing municipality, called Noakhali Municipality, had a population of 132,185 at the 2022 census, in an area of 23.79 square kilometres (9.19 sq mi).[3] It consists of 9 wards and 36 mahallas.
Background
[edit]In 1948, the district headquarters at Sudharam, considered the main city of Noakhali, were submerged by the Meghna River. As a temporary measure, they were relocated eight kilometers to the north to Maijdee. In 1953, the establishment of Noakhali Municipality was officially announced through a gazette notification. It encompassed various mouzas of Kadir Hanif Union, including the old town areas of Kalitara, Sonapur, and Maijdee. Concerns arose about the risk of Maijdee facing a similar fate due to river erosion, prompting authorities to consider relocating the headquarters again. However, protests by locals in the 1960s led to a decision to retain Maijdee as the district headquarters. Subsequently, Maijdee emerged as the new urban center of Noakhali.[2][4]
Demographics
[edit]According to the 2022 Bangladesh census, Noakhali Municipality had a population of 132,185 and a literacy rate of 90.12%.[1]: 388–394

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
