BOUNDARY DESCRIPTION OF THE ECO-SENSITIVE ZONE AROUND DEEPAR BHEEL
WILDLIFE SANCTUARY
East:
The boundary of Eco-sensitive Zone of Deepar Beel WLS starts at Point ID 1 (26.10894, 91.66745) at
Deochotal area on the Garchuk-Pamohi PWD Road. The boundary then traces towards East till meeting
Point Id 39 (26.10120, 91.69461). It then goes southward till it meets Point ID 44 (26.09561, 91.69377) and
next it turns to East till Point ID 46 (26.09564, 91.69647), then on it proceeds towards North till Point ID
51 (26.10250, 91.69834) Thence, it moves to Point Id 65 (26.09650, 91.70019) which is the juncture of
Rani RF and Garbhanga RF boundary.
South:
The boundary then moves towards Southern direction till Point ID 79 (26.08748, 91.69890) by taking its
course on overlapping zone of Rani & Grabhanga RF. Thence the ESZ boundary takes a southwestern
course till Point ID 177 (26.08181, 91.65730) tracing along the overlapping boundary of Rani RF &
Garbhanga RF and subsuming the respective Point ID 111 (26.08483, 91.67883), Point ID 120 (26.08664,
91.67629), Point ID 135 (26.08636, 91.67207), Point ID 154 (26.08074, 91.66371). The boundary then
takes direction towards south till meeting Point ID 205 (26.07128, 91.65291). Next, it starts going West till
Point ID 218 (26.07249, 91.62451). Then on the boundary runs to North-eastern direction till Point ID 221
(26.07608, 91.62905). The ESZ boundary then takes its course Westward till Point ID 252 (26.07621,
91.60874), tracing along and taking turns through the respective Point ID 241 (26.07234, 91.61122) and
248 (26.07596, 91.61069). The boundary then traces along the boundary of Rani RF subsuming the

running parallel to the railway track till meeting Point ID 565 (26.11702, 91.67405). It then goes on to meet
Point Id 566 (26.11673, 91.67473) which is at the railway track. Then the boundary crosses the railway
track to reach the point ID 567 (26.11623, 91.67652) near the Boragaon Dumping. The ESZ boundary then
subsumes the Point ID 583 (26.10993, 91.67980) near Swahid Smarak and then moves to Point ID 584
(26.10923, 91.67952) at the northern bank of Pamohi Channel and then it crosses the Pamohi Channel and
arrives at Point ID 585 (26.10905, 91.67949). It then goes along the Pamohi Channel till the Point ID 595
(26.11353, 91.67176); which is at the Railway Track. Then on, the boundary turns Southwest running along
the Railway Track to meet Point ID 605 (26.11105, 91.66710). From then on, the boundary runs Southward
till meeting the end point at the Point ID 608 (26.10894, 91.66712) at Deochotal area on the Garchuk-
Pamohi PWD Road, then on; it moves to meet the Starting Point, which is the Point ID 1 also situated at
Deochotal area on the Garchuk-Pamohi PWD Road.
