English spelling change

In April 2018, the government changed the English spelling of five districts to avoid inconsistencies in the Bangla and English spellings. The spellings have been changed from Bogra to Bogura, Barisal to Barishal, Jessore to Jashore, Chittagong to Chattogram and Comilla to Cumilla.[3][4]
