Bharatpur II

Bharatpur II is a community development block that forms an administrative division in the Kandi subdivision of Murshidabad district in the Indian state of West Bengal.

Salar is located at 23°46′56″N 88°05′59″E / 23.7821200°N 88.0996320°E / 23.7821200; 88.0996320

Bharatpur II CD block is bounded by Bharatpur I CD Block in the north, Beldanga II and Kaliganj CD block, in Nadia district, in the east, Ketugram II CD block, in Bardhaman district, in the south and Ketugram I CD block, in Bardhaman district, in the west.

Bharatpur II CD block lies in the Mayurakshi Dwaraka plain in the south-eastern corner of Rarh region in Murshidabad district. The Bhagirathi River splits the district into two natural physiographic regions – Rarh on the west and Bagri on the east. The Rarh region is undulating and contains mostly clay and lateritic clay based soil.

The Rarh region or the western part of the district is drained by the right bank tributaries of the Bhagirathi, flowing down from the hilly / plateau region of Santhal Pargana division in neighbouring Jharkhand. The Farakka Barrage regulates the flow of water into the Bhagirathi through the feeder canal. Thereafter, it is fed with the discharge from the Mayurakshi system. About 1,800 km2 of area in the neighbourhood of Kandi town is flooded by the combined discharge of the Mayurakshi, Dwarka, Brahmani, Gambhira, Kopai and Bakreshwar – the main contributor being the Mayurakshi. Certain other areas in the western sector also get flooded.

Bharatpur II CD block has an area of 158.50 km2. It has 1 panchayat samity, 7 gram panchayats, 123 gram sansads (village councils), 52 mouzas and 51 inhabited villages. Salar police station serves this block. Headquarters of this CD block is at Salar.

Gram panchayats in Bharatpur II block/ panchayat samiti are: Kagram, Malihati, Salar, Salu, Simulia, Talibpur and Tenya Baidyapur.

According to the 2011 Census of India, Bharatpur II CD block had a total population of 176,368, of which 153,474 were rural and 22,894 were urban.
