River Gumati

Gumati is the most popular and important river in the Indian state Tripura. Originated from Atharamura and Longhtorai mountain range near Domboor is 133 kms long and flew over Amarpur, Udaipur, Melaghar , Sonamura town and at last linked to Meghna river in Bangladesh. The river creates a dam in Domboor lake near Amarpur. The river has its own importance as because it helps many local villagers and farmers to cross the river with their wealth such as important Bamboos and other forest wealth, as some of the villages doesn't have a suitable roads to commute. Also some new and re-built bridges are now there across some towns and in villages, that helps peoples a lot.

This is normal for peoples to suffer in many light and tough diseases seasonally as some of them are very sensitive. They prefer to visit the only Hospital of the town that located in Padmadhepa area.   Melaghar Sub-Divisional Hospital . Although hospital is old and in good condition, local junior and senior doctors located at outdoor always, sometimes other doctors visit from nearby towns to check up patients.

Secondary School. Nowadays the Boy's School name not applying because as some girls are also studying in the school instead of studying at there school , Melaghar Girls High School . Girls School seems doesn't have some education systems and qualities for the students after 10th standard, so they have to visit boy's school to continue their studies.
