Post Office/Post(al) Sector


Explanation:
From looking at the Bangladesh Post Website, it seems that the country is divided and sub-divided for postal administration purposes. I cannot find any direct support for my idea, but it seems logical that a post office would be in a post sector, which in turn is in a post district, and so on.

Post Office/Police station


Explanation:
I don't see how both abbreviations could refer to postal services.
If you do a web search it doesn't make sense. But It might well be a police station which is also a landmark in every district.
