Budge Budge II
Budge Budge II is a community development block that forms an administrative division in Alipore Sadar subdivision of South 24 Parganas district in the Indian state of West Bengal.
The Budge Budge II CD block is located at 22°28′58″N 88°10′54″E / 22.4827548°N 88.1817594°E. It has an average elevation of 9 metres (30 ft).
The Budge Budge II CD block is bounded by the Budge Budge I CD block and the Sankrail CD block in the Howrah district, across the Hooghly, in the north, the Bishnupur II CD block in the east, the Falta CD block in the south, the Sankrail and Uluberia I CD blocks in the Howrah district, across the Hooghly, in the west.
The South 24 Parganas district is divided into two distinct physiographic zones: the marine-riverine delta in the north and the marine delta zone in the south. As the sea receded southwards, in the sub-recent geological period, a large low-lying plain got exposed. Both tidal inflows and the rivers have been depositing sediments in this plain. The periodical collapse of both the natural levees and man-made embankments speed up the process of filling up of the depressions containing brackish water wetlands. The marine delta in the south is formed of interlacing tidal channels. As non-saline water for irrigation is scarce, agriculture is monsoon dominated. Some parts of the wetlands are still preserved for raising fish.
The Budge Budge II CD block has an area of 78.00 km2. It has 1 panchayat samity, 11 gram panchayats, 150 gram sansads (village councils), 64 mouzas and 61 inhabited villages, as per the District Statistical Handbook for South Twenty-four Parganas. Nodakhali police station serves this CD Block. Headquarters of this CD block is at Dongaria.
