The Kangsha (Bengali: কংস নদী|kaṁsa nadī) (also known as the Kangsai or the Kangsabati[1]) is a river in the northern parts of Mymensingh[2] and Netrakona[3] districts of Bangladesh. The Someshwari is one of the rivers that join it from the north.
At Gaglajuri, the Dhanu is joined by the Kangsha which coming from the Garo Hills past Nalitabari as the Bhogai is at its best in the Netrakona subdivision at Deotukon and Barhatta. After Mohanganj it becomes a narrow winding khal with banks little higher than its own lowest level.
The river flows past Barhatta, Mohanganj and Dharampasha. The Dhala and Dhanu rivers which flow into Kishoreganj District are branches of the Kangsha.[3] The Kangsha flows into Surma River in Sunamganj District.
According to a report on wetland protection, "All floodwaters come from the Garo/Meghalaya Hills through a number of hill streams and rivers."[4]
