Bismillaheer Rahmaneer Raheem
Alif, Lam, Meem, Ra. These are the
verses of the Book; and what has been revealed to you from your Lord is the
truth, but most of the people do not believe.
It is Allah who erected the heavens
without pillars that you [can] see; then He established Himself above the
Throne and made subject the sun and the moon, each running [its course] for a
specified term. He arranges [each] matter; He details the signs that you may,
of the meeting with your Lord, be certain.
And it is He who spread the earth
and placed therein firmly set mountains and rivers; and from all of the fruits
He made therein two mates; He causes the night to cover the day. Indeed in that
are signs for a people who thoughts.
-Al-Quran 13: 1 – 3
Kumar River
Kumar River an old river originates from the Mathabhanga at
Hatboalia in Chuadanga district. Rennell depicted this river in his atlas
prepared in 1764. The river was not much active at that time. Though the river
overflows in monsoon, it turns almost dry in the lean
period. The river was locally called as Kalobeel (Black coloured beel).The
Kumar flows southeast from its origin keeping its course parallel to the nabaganga.
Near Magura, the river meets with the Nabaganga and the joint flow keeping the
name Nabaganga flows further south. Once upon a time, the Kumar received its
major flow from the Kaliganga, Chhaku, Hanu, Muchikhali etc on its course.
These are all offshoots of the gorai.
The origin of the Kumar has been disconnected from the Nabaganga after
commissioning of the ganges-kobadak irrigation project. As a
result, the Kumar is now turned into a narrow channel.
The only source of the river is excess water from the G-K project and local
rain
