THE BALASUN
The Balasan River takes its rise at Lepcha Jagat a few miles to the south west of the station of Darjeeling. It flows a southerly courses till soon after it eaters the terai, when it divides into two streams. One, called the New Balasun, branches off and joins the Mahanadi on its right bank just below Siliguri: the other, the Old Balasan, continues its southward courses till passing out of the terai, it also joins the Mahanadi in Purnea. The new channel is said to have formed about 60 years ago by some Meches damming up the old stream for the purpose of fishing. The principal tributaries of the Balasun in the hills are the Rinchingtong on the left, and the Rangbang on the right bank; and the plains the Rakti and Rohini, both of which join it on its left bank.
