On January 25, 2010

boundaries and names

of many districts and

upazilas (subdistricts)

in Bangladesh were

changed. However,

district and upazila

names used in the text

of this report predate

the changes made in

2010. For this reason

we show the configu-

ration of names and

boundaries that existed

prior to January 2010

on this map.
