🇮🇳 Karimganj district

Karimganj district, officially Sribhumi district, is one of the 35 districts of the Indian state of Assam. The district headquarters and largest town is Karimganj. Located in southern Assam, it shares borders with the Indian state of Tripura and the Sylhet Division of Bangladesh. Alongside Cachar and Hailakandi, it forms the Barak Valley region. Historically, the area formed part of Sylhet District, and the Karimganj subdivision was created in 1878 with Karimganj town as its headquarters. Following the Partition of India in 1947, the truncated Karimganj subdivision remained in India and was incorporated into Cachar district as a full-fledged subdivision. It was carved out of Cachar district and upgraded to a separate district on 1 July 1983.
