In the beginning, thanas were the subdistricts in the administrative geography of Bangladesh. But in 1983, the local ordinance of 1882 was amended and redesignated all the thanas to Upazilas which took effect in 1999. Now thanas are solely referred to as police stations. Usually, every upazila houses one police station but the largest administrative regions may have more than one police station to enforce the law in different administrative zones.
In total, there are 50 thanas in Dhaka city covering different wards and areas of Dhaka North City Corporation and Dhaka South City Corporation. Similarly, every upazila has one post office but larger administrative units may have multiple post offices to cover the entire area. But unlike all the thanas in Dhaka city, every post office in Bangladesh has a postal code associated with it. In the following sections, you will find the list of thanas in Dhaka city and postal codes in Dhaka that are associated with every post office.
