Fill in the blanks with suitable words:
Damodar river was called Sorrow of ___________________.

Answer 1

Hint: Damodar River is a river streaming across the Indian states of Jharkhand and West Bengal. Abundant in mineral resources, the gorge is home to large-scale excavating and industrial commotion. It is the most contaminated waterway in India (by 2003).

Complete answer:
Damodar River was previously recognized as the "River of Sorrows" as it used to overflow numerous expanses of Bardhaman, Hooghly, Howrah, and Medinipur regions. Even now the deluges occasionally distress the lower Damodar Valley, but the mayhem it inflicted in previous years is now a material of the past. Damodar River is a waterway streaming across the Indian states of Jharkhand and West Bengal. Abundant in mineral resources, the gorge is home to large-scale extracting and industrial commotion. Previously identified as the Sorrow of Bengal due to its devastating deluges in the prairies of West Bengal, the Damodar, and its offshoots have been slightly restrained with the building of numerous weirs. It is the most contaminated river in India.

Thus, the answer is West Bengal.

Note: The initial dam was constructed across the Barakar River, an offshoot of the Damodar river at Tilaiya in 1953. The 2ndone was constructed across the Konar River, an alternative offshoot of the Damodar river at Konar in 1955. 2weirs across the rivers Barakar and Damodar were constructed at Maithon in 1957 and Panchet in 1958. Both the weirs are around 8 km (5 mi) upriver of the convergence spot of the rivers. These 4mainweirs are measured by DVC. Durgapur Barrage was built down the river of the 4weirs in 1955, across the Damodar river at Durgapur, with lead controllers for channels on either side for nursing a widespread arrangement of channels and distributaries.
