Bangali River

Two of the major centers of the Fakir-Sanyasi Rebellion were Bogra District and Rangpur, located on both sides of the Bangali River.

[1] Similar to other rivers in the region, the Bangali undergoes several divisions and receives multiple tributaries.

According to the Bogra District Gazetteer, the Bangali River flows through Sariakandi Upazila to the south east and reaches Chou-Ghata.

The western branch named Hal-Halia flows towards the south passing across Bogra, Sherpur and Dhunat Upazila.

[3] At Bathuabari in Dhunat, the two branches meet again and the conjoined flow continues by the name of "Fuljhur", which turns towards the west near South Pantabari and arrives at a place called Kachari Kallyani.

Engineers worry that if these two rivers merge, an area of 1,000 square kilometres and 9 m (30 ft) of Bogra and Sirajganj will be completely submerged under water.
