Jamuna River
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Jamuna River (Bangla: যমুনা Jomuna) is one of the three main rivers of Bangladesh. It serves as the main branch of Brahmaputra River, which flows through Tibet (China) and India. It flows into the Padma River (Pôdda) near Goalondo. Merged with the Padma (Pôdda), it meets the Meghna River near Chandpur. It then flows into the Bay of Bengal as the Meghna River. The Jamuna was a barrier in establishing a direct road link between capital Dhaka and northern part of Bangladesh better known as Rajshahi Division until 1996, with the completion Jamuna Multi-Purpose Bridge.
