Nirmal Char is a river island of the Bhagawangola II community developed block of Murshidabad District in West Bengal, India.[1]
History
[edit]The Akheriganj area with a population of 20,000 living in an area of 50 square miles eroded the Padma River and that led to the natural formation of Nirmal Char.[2][3]
The population of this region consisted of persons displaced from other floodporne areas like Patibna (partly destroyed), Akhriganj Mouza (fully destroyed), Khoribona (partly destroyed), Sankarpur (partly destroyed), Munsarpur (fully destroyed), Hasanpur (partly destroyed) and settled in Nirmal Char.[1]
