I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for this reply. Your kindness and support mean more to me than words can express. I truly appreciate all that you have done.
Thank you once again for being so wonderful!
Dear @MortenCopenhagen it’s not tempering or unauthorised change of name but due to change in the government the names has been revised under offical capacity. I think move is pretty significant.
My insight in the local conditions in Bangladesh is minimal, so I did not read the attached documentation. I will leave it up to the Team to figure out if and what needs to be done based on the documentation.
