After this, programs like hunger strike, human chain and hartal were also observed in Madhyanagar market at different times. At the 7th meeting of the National Implementation Committee on Administrative Restructuring (NICAR) in 2001, it was decided to establish Madhyanagar Upazila with 4 unions in Madhyanagar Thana area. The decision was later overturned at the 7th Nikar meeting. The last decision to make Madhyanagar a full-fledged upazila was taken at the 116th meeting of Nikar on 28 July 2021.
