2 States — the Ganga’s shifting course unsettles voters

April 21, 2014 by Admin Leave a Comment

  • River Ganga changes its course, submerges Mohabat Tola village forcing people to cancel their plan to vote in ongoing Lok Sabha polls
  • River inundates stretches of land during monsoon season, this has to mainly do with Farakka Barrage on its path and huge silt deposits
  • All these results in Ganga changing its course and swallowing villages in its wake, people shift to other places every 10 to 12 yrs
  • River waters shift from eastern Malda in West Bengal and Rajmahal in Jharkhand, forcing people to shift from one state to another
  • People’s living in floodplains have to keep changing their addresses and voting booths from West Bengal to Jharkhand accordingly
  • Majority Bengali speaking Muslims, regret being branded as Bangladeshi by NGOs, claims resident long before partition of India

Exams Perspective:

  1. R.Ganga
  2. Monsoon
  3. Meandering
  4. Inundation
  5. Farakka Barrage
