Nurpur is located at 24°17′38″N 88°11′10″E / 24.294°N 88.186°E / 24.294; 88.186. Nurpur area of Suti 1 block is near Bangladesh International Border and Padma river. Indian Border Guard BSF[1] patrols the Nurpur area 24x7, it is a protected area.
Jangipur subdivision is crowded with 52 census towns and as such it had to be presented in two location maps. One of the maps can be seen alongside. The subdivision is located in the Rarh region that is spread over from adjoining Santhal Pargana divisionofJharkhand. The land is slightly higher in altitude than the surrounding plains and is gently undulating.[2][3] The river Ganges, along with its distributaries, is prominent in both the maps. At the head of the subdivision is the 2,245 m long Farakka Barrage, one of the largest projects of its kind in the country.[4] Murshidabad district shares with Bangladesh a porous international border which is notoriously crime prone (partly shown in this map).[5] The subdivision has two large power plants - the 2,100 MW Farakka Super Thermal Power Station and the 1,600 MW Sagardighi Thermal Power Station.[6][7] According to a 2016 report, there are around 1,000,000 (1 million/ ten lakh) workers engaged in the beedi industry in Jangipur subdivision. 90% are home-based and 70% of the home-based workers are women.[8][9][10] As of 2013, an estimated 2.4 million people reside along the banks of the Ganges alone in Murshidabad district. Severe erosion occurs along the banks.[11]
Note: The two maps present some of the notable locations in the subdivision. All places marked in the maps are linked in the larger full screen maps.
