The 'Barak River', which flows through Manipur, Mizoram, and Assam before entering Bangladesh, is a major component of which drainage system?

💡 Solution & Explanation

The Barak River flows through Manipur, Mizoram, and Assam before entering Bangladesh, where it joins the Surma-Meghna river system that ultimately drains into the Bay of Bengal. It is distinct from the Brahmaputra system, although both share a common deltaic exit in Bangladesh. The river basin supports rich biodiversity and crucial inland navigation.
