dist, ad p
Dist= District


Explanation:
Dist= District

AD is most probably the abbreviation of Anno Domini, ie, after the birth of Christ. This abbreviation is often used in marriage certificate to denote Gregorian or English calendar.

I need more context to answer ad p.

dist, ad p
District and Post Office


Explanation:
dist is the abbreviation of district.
There is a missing word "n" in between "ad".
P stands for Post office.
It may be police station also but generally we write post office with district.

dist, ad p
Dist= District, an administrative land unit of Bangladesh


Explanation:
The term district is used to indicate the land units that make a division, it's not used to indicate different areas of a city.

--------------------------------------------------

The country is divided in to six divisions and each of the division consists of a few districts. Further a district is divided in to a few upazillas (sub-district).

However, the term sub-district isn't used.

dist, ad p
District


Explanation:
Dist = district that's okey and common. But what about 'ad p'? 'ad' and 'p' jointly form this term as per the question. No clear answer received for the term yet. Most likely a clearer context will be helpful to understand it.

dist, ad p
District, permanent address


Explanation:
Everyone correctly mentioned "District" for "dist".

For "Ad. P.", I guess it could be "Permanent address".

In Bangladesh only country name comes after District name. So, if the current address is given before then the permanent address can come after it and "Ad." may indicate "address" and "P" may indicate "permanent".

Asker: I have thought that, but why it is written the other way around.

agree  PRAKASH SHARMA: this one suits the most, I feel, as in many countries, there may be some sort of trend of writing the stuffs other way round.
