Neel Nirjan[edit]

The reservoir, formed by erecting a dam in the Bakreshwar River, named Neel Nirjan (meaning blue solitude), for providing water to the thermal power plant, is gaining in popularity as a tourist spot.[5]{It can be seen on the map alongside, but it is not marked.)

The Andal-Sainthia branch line passes through this area. There are stations at Chinpai and Kachujor.[7]
