Vehicle WB-70/WB-69 registration History Lok Sabha Alipurduars (ST) Dasrath Tirkey constituency The history of Alipurduar (named after Hedayet Ali) Vidhan Alipurduars Deboprasad Roy can be reconstructed from the writings of J. F. Sabha Grunning, J. A. Milligan, D.H.E. Sunder and Sailen constituency Debnath. After the second Anglo-Bhutan War in Website www.alipurduarmunicipality.in 1865, according to the Treaty of Sinchula, the eleven (http://www.alipurduarmunicipality.in) Bengal Dooars were annexed by the British Government, although the seven Assam Dooars had already been occupied by the British in 1942. Colonel Hedayet Ali was posted as the commander at the military settlement on the bank of the River Kaljani. The entire tract of land of the Buxa Dooar was leased out to Hedayet Ali on his superannuation and the growing town adjacent to the military settlement began to grow as well. According to Debnath, the military settlement in the town of Alipurduar, in course of time, increasingly turned to be less important because of the fast growth of military cantonment at Buxa Fort in the north of the town and the Chila Roy Barrack in Cooch Behar. Along with the expansion of tea plantation and set up of railway lines, Alipurduar began to be important in terms of communication and administration. The partition of the country in 1947 led to the immigration of refugees from East Pakistan and the growth of population in the town of Alipurduar.[1] Demographics In the 2011 census, Alipurduar Urban Agglomeration had a population of 127,342, out of which 64,898 were males and 62,444 were females. The 0–6 years population was 10,545. Effective literacy rate for the 7+ population was 89.16 per cent.[2] As of 2001 India census,[3] Alipurduar had a population of 73,047. Males constitute 51% of the population and females 49%. Alipurduar has an average literacy rate of 78%, higher than the national average of 59.5%; with 54% of the males and 46% of females literate. 10% of the population is under 6 years of age. The district has 11 of tribal communities including, Boro, Mech, Toto (only habitat), and Santhal. Travel and tourism Although Alipurduar town is not a popular tourist destination by itself, a number of interesting choices are available within a short distance. Dense forests and hills offering beautiful natural landscape surround the town. A few of them are here- 1. The most important forest in Alipurduar is Buxa Tiger Reserve, which is famous for its rare flora and fauna. The forest has the status of a National Park and hosts the mosts Bengal tigers in North Bengal. The Chilapata Forests provide an elephant corridor between the Buxa reserve and the Jaldapara National Park, another important eco-tourism destination. 2. The highest peak of Dooars, the Chota Sinchula, is in Alipurduar. Situated at an altitude of 1733m at about 12 km from Buxa the peak offers views of the impermeable forest covers of Buxa hills and Bhutan valley. 3. Rajabhatkhawa, Jayanti, Bhutanghat, and Raimatang are situated deep inside the forest, and offer wildlife tourism. Each place has forest rest-house accommodation for limited numbers of tourist. 4.

Understandably, the discussion of 1947 in this literature is largely focussed on Partition—its memories and its long-term effects on the nation. 1 Earlier studies on Partition looked at the ‘event’ as a part of the grand narrative of the formation of two nation-states in the subcontinent; but in recent times the historians’ gaze has shifted to what Gyanendra Pandey has described as ‘a history of the lives and experiences of the people who lived through that time’. 2 So far as Bengal is concerned, such experiences have been analysed in two subsets, i.e., the experience of the borderland, and the experience of the refugees. As the surgical knife of Sir Cyril Ratcliffe was hastily and erratically drawn across Bengal, it created an international boundary that was seriously flawed and which brutally disrupted the life and livelihood of hundreds of thousands of Bengalis, many of whom suddenly found themselves living in what they conceived of as ‘enemy’ territory. Even those who ended up on the ‘right’ side of the border, like the Hindus in Murshidabad and Nadia, were apprehensive that they might be sacrificed and exchanged for the Hindus in Khulna who were caught up on the wrong side and vehemently demanded to cross over.

Access to safe purified water is not easily accessible in the backward regions of Alipurduar district due to lack of purchasing power and awareness. Water borne diseases like digestion problems, kidney ailments, hepatitis, jaundice etc. are common in Kumargram block of Alipurduar district. There are issues such as, ground water contamination due to dolomite intrusion in ground water as a result of continued erosion in the hills of Bhutan and Dooars. Besides, population explosion has caused increasing pollution in the rivers and groundwater also. Thus the health issues are studied with the help of case studies in sample villages involving 553 families of Kumargram block including the tea gardens, tribal areas, major hamlets and trading centers etc. The sample villages are selected by stratified random sampling method.
