Meghnā.—The lower course of the Surmā river flowing through the district of Dacca is generally known as the Meghnā. This river represents the combined waters of Surmā, the Barāka and the Puini. The Meghnā flows a tortuous course between the districts of Dacca and Tipperah till it joins the Dhaleśvarī, a little below Munshiganj. The united waters of the Padmā and the Meghnā flow together into the Bay of Bengal (Law, Rivers of India, p. 25).
