| Hugli, the westernmost distributary of Ganga-Brahmaputra delta is characterised by numerous transient islands. These are evolved by bio-tidal accretion processes and are active grounds for natural hazards to act in. The present study concentrates on the inter island relocation of Lohachara and Ghoramara islanders to Sagar island of the Hugli estuary and socio economic challenges they faced therein. |
