In line with the changed English spelling of the district, the authorities of Comilla University have changed the spelling of the university to Cumilla University.
A press release signed by university Registrar Dr Abu Taher on Wednesday said the 72nd Syndicate meeting took the decision on February 25.
It urged all concerned to use Cumilla University from now on.
On April 2 last year, the government changed the English spellings of the country’s five districts Chittagong, Comilla, Barisal, Jessore and Bogra to Chattogram, Cumilla, Barishal, Jashore and Bogura respectively in line with their Bangla accents and spellings.
