It happens to be the main source of drinking water, fishing, irrigation and electricity generation etc. of many Noctes and Tutsa villages settling along the banks. The river flow throughout the year and is originated from a hilly area nearby a village called 'Longbu'. flow from south to north direction, its latitude and longitude extension is from 27 ◦N to 27 ◦10 N latitude and 95 ◦30 E to 95◦ 40 E longitude.
