The Jadukata River<\/strong>, flowing along the northeastern border of Bangladesh and India in the Sunamganj district, is a breathtaking natural wonder. The ancient name of this river was Renuka<\/strong>.
According to local legend, a young mother once sat by the riverbank cleaning fish while holding her baby, Jadu<\/em>, in her arms. Distracted for a moment, she mistakenly cut her child instead of the fish. Heartbroken, the locals named the river Jadukata<\/strong>, in memory of the child.<\/p>\n

Originating from the Khasi Hills of Meghalaya<\/strong>, the river runs about twenty miles before merging with the Surma River<\/strong> under the name Rukti<\/strong>. On one side of the river stands the green Barek Tila<\/strong>, while on the other lies the majestic Khasi Hills<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
