Anjana is a local river of Nadia district of West Bengal. The 29 km (18 mi) long river drains Krishnanagar, Jalalkhali and Badkulla areas, which belong to Krishnanagar, and Krishnanagar 1 and Hanshkhali community development block. The Anjana River originates on the southern bank of the Jalangi River at the northern end of Krishnanagar, the river generally flows south through the Jalalkhali area before reaching Badkulla. Passing the town of Badkulla, the river flows southeast and joins the Churni river.[1] A tributary originates from this river at Hat Boalia, which joins the Churni river at Hanshkhali.
The course of the river has become a canal within the city of Krishnanagar, thus drying up most of the course.[2] The river has very little flow in seasons other than monsoon.[3][4] The river has been gradually silted up under the pressure of unplanned and illegal urbanization for a long time in Krishnanagar.[5][6][7]
The description of this river is found in Rennell's 'Systematic Survey' in 1776 AD. Anjana River is also mentioned in Bengali literature.[2][8][9]
