Which river has often been called the Sorrow of Bengal?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Damodar

The correct answer is the Damodar River. Before the construction of major flood-control and multipurpose projects, the Damodar frequently overflowed during heavy monsoon rains and caused destructive floods in parts of present-day Jharkhand and West Bengal. Because these repeated floods damaged crops, settlements, and infrastructure, the river became known as the Sorrow of Bengal. The Damodar Valley Corporation was later established to help regulate floods and support irrigation and power generation. Rupnarayan, Ajay, and Mayurakshi are also rivers of eastern India, but this traditional epithet is specifically associated with the Damodar.
