CHISOBIBRA Located on the left bank of the River Simsang close to Williamnagar, the district headquarters of East Garo Hills district, Chisobibra and its environs are covered with tall, elegant and mature sal trees which constitute the Rongrengiri Reserve Forest covering an area of over thirty six square kilometres. During the British India, they faced the last major Garo resistance to their intrusion at Chisobibra. After days of seize, th~y succeeded on 12th December 1872 to fell the Garo Warrior Pa Togan Nengminja Sangma who led the Garos, at Chisobibra near Rongrengiri. This broke the Garo resistance and the British annexed Garo Hills with ease. A simple Memorial to Pa Togan has been erected at Chisobibra within Rongrengiri Reserve Forest. A function, to commemorate the fallen martyr Pa Togan, is held annually at the site of the Memorial, on the anniversary of his martyrdom. Chisobibra is ten kilometres from Williamnagar on the Tura- Asanangre Williamnagar State Highway. At Rongrengiri, the River Simsang provides an excellent spot for anglers to try their hand for big as well as small catch. Wildlife lovers will find flocks of Imperial-Pigeons grazing for calcinates, on the sandy banks of the Simsang River, at Chisobibra.

The publication, which is brought out for each district, contains several demographic and socio-economic characteristics.village-wise and town-wise of the district alongwith the status of availability of-civic amenities, infrastructural facilities, etc. The scope of the DCHB was initially confined to a few Census Tables and Primary Census Abstract (PCA) of e~ch village and town within the district. Thereafter, at successive censuses, its scope and coverage has been enlarged. The DCHB published at the 1961 census provided a descriptive account of the district, administrative statistics, census tables and a village and town directory including PCA.
