South Salmara-Mankachar District

South Salmara-Mankachar is an administrative district in Lower Assam situated along the Brahmaputra River. The terrain consists of plains with low hillocks, bordered by Bangladesh and Meghalaya, featuring a mix of settlements and rural areas.

The area became an independent district in 2016 when separated from Dhubri district to improve local administration. This reorganization allowed for better governance and services tailored to the region's needs.

The communities here speak Assamese and Bengali, wearing traditional garments like kurtas and sarees as part of daily life. These languages and clothing styles shape the character of the region and reflect the heritage of its residents.

The district headquarters is located in Hatsingimari with road networks connecting to nearby areas. Visitors can access the region via established road connections from surrounding towns and regions.

The district holds remnants of a World War II airfield that remains closed to the public. This abandoned facility stands as a historic trace of the region's role during the war effort.
