Note: A GHAT — a stepped riverbank landing on the Ganga, not a residential locality. The surrounding quarter takes its name from it, which is how it reached the sheet. RIVERSIDE LAND raises FLOOD-LEVEL AND DRAINAGE questions: check the khasra record for floodplain classification and ask residents about monsoon levels. ASK WHICH LOCALITY.
