Model Answer
The Alluvial Plain of Haryana
- Bagar is a region in Haryana, India that includes the districts of Hisar, Bhiwani, and Sirsa. The region is named after the Bagari dialect, which is spoken by many people in the area.
- Within the alluvial plain are the narrow low-lying flood plains, known as Khadar of Yamuna, Nali of Ghaggar, and Bet of Markanda.
- The old alluvial plain (Bangar) at varying depths contains carbonate of lime, usually occurring in nodules called Kankar, which are from less than one centimetre to more than 5 centimetres in diameter.
- In Bangar, these Kankar formations occur much below the root-zone of the soil and such parts of the land are known as Nardak.
- In the upper reaches of the Saraswati stream in Thanesar tahsil of Kurukshetra district, the Kankar seems to occur in the form of a pan close to the root zone and this tract is termed as Chhachhra.
