Explanation: States and districts in the boundaries of 2023; subdistricts in the boundaries of 2011. Population figures of new delimitated districts and split subdistricts are mostly computed by using subdistricts or villages in the boundaries of 2011. Thus, slight deviatiations from the actual population are possible in some cases. Area figures are mostly derived from geospatial data.
