4. The Khadar Plains
The new alluvium tracts along the courses of the rivers are known as the ‘Khadar’ or ‘Bet lands. The khadar tracts are enriched by fresh deposits of silt every year during the rainy season. The Khadar land consists of sand, silt, clay and mud. After Independence, most of the Khadar land has been brought under cultivation and devoted to sugarcane, rice, wheat, maize, oilseeds, legumes, and fodder crops. The Khadar deposits have the fossils of living species like man, deer, oxen, buffaloes, horses, elephants, rhino, etc.
