Ketugram II Development Block & Panchayat Samity is perhaps better known to the rest of the districts for its annual flood rather than its heritage. It is the birthplace of Baishnab poet Krishnadas Kabiraj and is home to historical places like the Uddharanpur Ghat and the Attahas Mahapeeth, to name a few. The confluence of river Bhagirathi with Ajay at Sankhai and the confluence of river Babla with river Bhagirathi at Kalyanpur are other places of interest. The Development Block has the river Bhagirathi on its Eastern side, river Babla on its North-Eastern side and the river Ajay on its Southern side. This causes the annual inundation, thereby totally destroying the Aman cultivation. The Development Block remains cut-off from the rest of the district during the months of September till October. People of the area have developed their own way of survival during the floods but construction of additional flood centers in Mougram, Nutangram, Sujapur, Nabagram-Kakurhati and Billeswar Rasui could mitigate their suffering by providing shelter. The Panchayat Samity could not prevent the land erosion by river Bhagirathi in Nutangram, Raghupur, Shiluri, and Sitahati villages hence it has strengthened the ex-zamindari embankment alongside the river Ajay through MGNREGS work.
