Magrahat II
Magrahat II is a community development block that forms an administrative division in Diamond Harbour subdivision of South 24 Parganas district in the Indian state of West Bengal.
Magrahat II CD block is located at 22°14′31″N 88°22′42″E / 22.2420°N 88.3784°E. It has an average elevation of 8 metres (26 ft).
Magrahat II CD block is bounded by Bishnupur I and Baruipur CD blocks in the north, Jaynagar I CD block in the east, Mandirbazar CD block in the south and Magrahat I CD block 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 deposited sediments in this plain. The periodical collapse of both the natural levees and man-made embankments speed up the process of filling up 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.
Magrahat II CD block has an area of 136.93 km2. It has 1 panchayat samity, 14 gram panchayats, 214 gram sansads (village councils), 84 mouzas and 78 inhabited villages, as per the District Statistical Handbook, South Twenty-four Parganas. Magrahat police station serves this CD Block. Headquarters of this CD block is at Magrahat.
