Canning II
Canning II is a community development block that forms an administrative division in Canning subdivision of South 24 Parganas district in the Indian state of West Bengal.
Canning II CD block is located at 22°18′50″N 88°39′54″E / 22.3139917°N 88.6650753°E. It has an average elevation of 6 metres (20 ft).
Canning II CD block is bounded by Bhangar I CD block in the north, Sandeshkhali I, Sandeshkhali II and Hingalganj CD blocks in North 24 Parganas district in the east, Basanti CD block in the south, Canning I, Baruipur and Sonarpur CD blocks in the west.
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.
Canning II CD block has an area of 214.93 km2. It has 1 panchayat samity, 9 gram panchayats, 146 gram sansads (village councils), 62 mouzas and 61 inhabited villages, as per the District Statistical Handbook for South Twenty-four Parganas. Jibantala police station serves this CD Block. Headquarters of this CD block is at Deuli.
Canning II CD block has 42.63 km of embankments. Breaches in these embankments varied from 0.4 km in 2004-05 to 0.9 km in 2005-06. Embankments raised along rivers are of critical importance for the safety of lives and protection of crops, against daily tides and tidal surges. Technologically the embankment structures are weak and there is need of proper drainage of accumulated rain water through sluice gates. Crude cuts in embankments for drainage of accumulated rain water and channels built for providing water to large fisheries (bheris) also add to the hazards. Cyclones and tropical depressions are regular threats.
Gram panchayats of Canning II CD block/panchayat samiti are: Atharobanki, Deuli-I, Deuli-II, Kalikatala, Matherdighi, Narayanpur, Sarengabad, Tambuldaha-I and Tambuldaha-II.
As per 2011 Census of India, Canning II CD block had a total population of 252,523, of which 241,333 were rural and 11,182 were urban. There were 128,438 (51%) males and 124,085 (49%) females. Population below 6 years was 43,455. Scheduled Castes numbered 52,859 (20.93%) and Scheduled Tribes numbered 14,910 (5.90%).
