A wide barrage over the Damodar River that offers open views, breezy evenings, and a scenic drive-like feel—popular for relaxed visits and photography. It’s also closely tied to the region’s water management and development story.
About this place
History & highlights
Constructed between 1953 and 1955, the barrage was built primarily for irrigation and to supply water to the industrial township of Durgapur, marking an important chapter in post-independence infrastructure planning. Its irrigation and canal system later came under the Government of West Bengal (transfer noted in the 1960s).
