Talking to some farmers, it is known that the old Brahmaputra river flows through the eastern side of Melandah upazila. The river was once very fast flowing due to its direct connection with the Pramatta Jamuna.

There is no connection with Jamuna now. But in the eastern part of Melandha, silt accumulates extensively in large chars including Tupkar Char, Balur Char, Char No. 4, Char No. 2 and Char No. 5. Since then, farmers have been cultivating brinjal in those chars.
