Louhajang River (Bengali:লৌহজং নদী,romanized: lauhajaṁ nadī[lowɦɔdʒɔŋnɔdi]) is located in centralBangladesh. It branches off from theJamuna near Gabsain atBhuapur,Tangail District.[1] Thereafter it bifurcates before the two parts meet up again. It flows pastTangail city, Karotia and Jamurki before joining theBangshi.[2] The Louhajang is linked with theDhaleshwari.[3]
The average depth of the Louhajang is 1 metre (3 ft) and maximum depth is 3 metres (9 ft).[4]
Encroachment on the river's banks has been a persistent problem for decades, with not just banana orchards and vegetable gardens, but also illegally constructed concrete structures having been built in many areas on both banks of the river.[5]
