– I propose that these pages be moved to Jashore and Jashore District respectively. It has been 8 years since the Government of Bangladesh officially changed the English spelling from "Jessore" to "Jashore" (April 2018) to more closely match the Bengali pronunciation. While Wikipedia often waits for "common usage" to catch up with official changes, the 8-year mark represents a significant period where "Jashore" has now become the standard in both local and international contexts.
