The most note-worthy feature is the Farakka Barrage across the Ganges.^[2] The area is a part of the Malda Sadar subdivision, which is an overwhelmingly rural region, but the area shown in the map has pockets of urbanization with 17 census towns, concentrated mostly in the Kaliachak I CD block.^[3]^[4] The bank of the Ganges between Bhutni and Panchanandapur (both the places are marked on the map), is the area worst hit by left bank erosion, a major problem in the Malda area.^[5] The ruins of Gauda, capital of several empires, is located in this area.^[6]
