The traditional Ichamati River Durga idol immersion in Taki has changed due to strict geopolitical borders, heightened surveillance and security mandates.
About Ichamati River:
It is a transboundary river that flows through both India and Bangladesh.
It also forms part of the boundary between the two countries.
Course:
It is one of the bifurcations of the Mathabhanga River (a distributary of the Padma) and originates at Mahjdia village in the Nadia district of West Bengal.
It flows through the Nadia and North 24 Parganas districts of West Bengal.
Then it forms part of the India–Bangladesh international border.
Later, it enters Bangladesh’s Satkhira and Khulna districts.
It covers a distance of around 216 km before discharging into the Kalindi River at Hasnabad in North 24 Parganas District and finally outfalls into the Bay of Bengal near Moore Island.
The Ichhamati River and its tributaries form a large oxbow lake complex in the North 24-Paraganas district near Bangaon.
From 1916-2020, the channel course of Ichamati’s water has seen sharp changes, majorly due to human interventions apart from historical and geological factors.
The river is having trouble with siltation that leads to a slender flow of water in the dry season and floods in the rainy season.
