Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Census of India, 1961: Punjab District Census Handbook No. 4, Karnal District
The Markanda enters Karnal District near Damli village and passes by Shahbad. After flowing in a south-westernly direction for about 30 miles, it joins the Saraswati. It is seasonal and notorious for floods during the rainy season. The lands on its banks (the bet of Markanda) are fairly fertile and are in the quick process of reclamation. The Saraswati nadi, along with several small tributaries, drains a large part of Thanesar Tahsil and causes floods in the rainy season in the low-lying Naili tract. It joins the Ghaggar river soon after crossing the boundary of the District. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
