Purbo Chhatnai Union(Union)

Purba Chhatnai Union is a settlement located at the north-western edge of Dimla Upazila in Nilphamari district, nestled along the banks of the Teesta River.

Geographically situated in the Teesta basin, the region boasts diverse natural beauty, and the life struggle of its people, who coexist with the turbulent river, is truly unique.

Vast crop fields and small tributaries flowing through the sandy banks of the Teesta give this union a serene appearance.

During the monsoon, when the river regains its youthful vigor, the roar of the water and the expanse of greenery spread a sense of profound tranquility.

Although the area is primarily agricultural, it holds its own historical significance.

Its proximity to the Teesta Barrage makes its geographical location highly strategic.

Among the notable tourist attractions here is the embankment area along the Teesta River, which becomes the heart of local gatherings in the afternoon.

While river erosion remains a major challenge for the people during the monsoon, recent government and private initiatives in river training and the construction of sustainable embankments have brought some relief to the public.

Locally, this region is known for its agricultural products and simple, hospitable people.

Upholding its traditions, the people here still cherish rural festivals and fairs, which have made Purba Chhatnai an integral and vibrant part of Dimla Upazila.
