Watch out: Khandokar's book lists Bibiyana and Rashidpur under Moulvibazar. Zubair's map puts Rashidpur in Habiganj, and other sources place both Bibiyana and Rashidpur in Habiganj district, so they are shown under Habiganj here.
Did you know?: Zubair's book says Mobarakpur (Pabna) and North Bhola, though recent finds, had not yet been published in the official gazette. Khandokar's book calls Ilisha-1 (Bhola) the country's 29th gas field; it was declared in 2023.
