Bogura

Bogura extends across 71 square kilometers divided into 21 wards, functioning as the second largest urban area in northern Bangladesh's Rajshahi Division.

The area traces its origins to Emperor Ashoka's reign from 268 to 232 BCE, when the settlement operated under the name Pundra Bardhan.

The population of 1.2 million people includes a majority of Muslim residents at 93 percent, with Hindu communities representing 6.5 percent of inhabitants.

The city maintains strong transportation connections through multiple railway stations and bus terminals, serving as a primary gateway to the northern regions of Bangladesh.

The Karatoya River splits through the district, creating distinct eastern and western sections that shape the city's development and agricultural patterns.
