Within lay the six rifles and the big Police-book of the thana of Howli! |
In the early 21st century, Bangladesh consisted of 6 divisions, more than 60 districts, and more than 500 thana. |
Wherefore we were sent to that thana which was eight miles from the next thana. |
Villages the smallest unit of government numbered in the tens of thousands and were grouped into unions beneath the thana. |
The thana, or police division, only exists for police purposes. |
Accompanied by some other young men from the village, he made rounds of the police thana and military base to get a release order. |
