The Iril River (Meitei: Iril Turel) is a river that runs through the eastern suburbs of the city of Imphal in the state of Manipur, India.
The Meitei word Ee, which means blood, although "Ee" is also the first syllable in the Meitei word for anything "water" related such as "Ee-shing" which simply means water.
The river then runs through Saikul, Sagolmang area and flows through Lamlai, Top, Naharup, Pangong, and Irilbung before it joins with the Imphal River.
