Comment: Tour 8 : Dahagram - Angorpota : history of a part of Bangladesh
Dhaka - Lalmonirhat - Dahagram - Angorpota - Rangpur - Dhaka Just beyond the
boundary is another country. But there too is physical
Bangladesh. Her national flag flutters here with pride. How amazing it is.
On the extreme north of Bangladesh is Lalmonirhat. A small
landscape of this district is Chhit Mahal which is known as Dahagram -
Angorpota. Its connection with the mainland is a three - bigha
corridoor through the Indian soil. Apparently 16,000 people live on this
pocket. They talk in mixed language,have okayed an
amalgamation of tradition and culture of two neighbours. Pleasing all along
to witness is a country within a country. On way back are
seen as bonus the deserted aerodrome used the second World War, Tista
Barrage Project, Burimari Check Post(India-Bhuttan-Nepal
border intersections), river Tista with high tide and other running rivers
like Dharla, Ratnai and Saniajan rivers. All these may rest as a refreshing
story in the memory of the beholders.
