Which river was called the Sorrow of Bengal due to destructive floods in the Damodar Valley in earlier times?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Damodar

Option A is correct: the Damodar River was historically called the Sorrow of Bengal. The governing concept is the relationship between river behaviour, flood history and regional geographical nicknames. Before extensive flood-control works and the Damodar Valley development projects, the river frequently overflowed and caused severe damage across its valley and adjoining areas. This repeated flooding gave rise to the well-known nickname. Kosi is famously called the Sorrow of Bihar, while Gandak is another Himalayan tributary and Hooghly is a distributary of the Ganga flowing through West Bengal. The wording specifically mentions the Damodar Valley, which provides the decisive clue. Therefore, the answer is Damodar.
