Hurasagar River

Summary

The Hurasagar River, or Hoorsagar, is a major river of Bangladesh that formerly flowed into the Ganges, but now joins the Jamuna. It receives water from the Baral, the Phuljhar (which is the combination of the Karatoya and the Bangali rivers).[1]

The Hurasagar is joined to the Ichhamati River by a system of locks.[1]
