KATIHAR

A north-eastern Bihar district

About Katihar

Katihar is located at 25.53° N 87.58° E. It has an average elevation of 20 metres. The main rivers of the District are mighty Ganga (southern boundary, 25 kilometers from Katihar Town), magnificent Kosi (western boundary, 30 kilometers from Katihar Town) and beautiful Mahananda besides many other small rivers like Kari Kosi (flowing by the side of Katihar town), Kamla etc. The Kosi (Sorrow of Bihar) merges with Ganga at the south-west boundary of Katihar District. This District shares boundary with two states i.e. Jharkhand at the southern side and West Bengal at the eastern side. The Bangla Desh lies around 80 km east of Katihar town and Nepal lies around 100 km north of Katihar Town. There is rail connectivity to both the borders from Katihar railway station. The hills of Jharkhand near the southern bank of Ganga is even visible from Katihar Town on a clear day. Its proximity to the Himalayas in the north, Jharkhand plateu in the south and a multiple of rivers combined with good rainfall gives it a distinct climate which can be termed more or less pleasant during most of the year. The rainy season flood is an annual feature. And on 2nd October 1973,Katihar acquired status of an independent district.

      thanks to share your problem! Actually this is not any government site or not sponsored by any government official it is private blog provided by one of the people who belongs to a small village of katihar. So we are here try to distribute the information about katihar and its related. We don’t have any connection with any government official there so hope if any sincere official will visit the site they will get back to you soon! Why not try to contact your local representative to solve this.
