Many legends about Titas and Meghna traverse from generation to generation in world's largest deltaic country Bangladesh. One such legend says that Titas is the daughter of Meghna, who has been carrying her progeny to the Bay of Bengal since time immemorial. Amazingly enough, the two streams never commingle, and they keep a conspicuous demarcation line between them. While many hydrographers attribute this phenomenon to the difference in water properties of the two rivers, the people cherish to think of them as mother-daughter.
The city was built on the banks of the Karnaphuli River, which ends nearby, in the Bay of Bengal.
Chittagong is very different in terms of topography from the rest of Bangladesh, as the city is part of the hilly regions that branch off from the Himalayas.
The Power Development Board, The Titas Gas Co Ltd and the Oil companies are responsible for the supply of electricity, gas and fuel oil etc to the city, respectively.
It is bounded by the Indian border to the west, by the Ganges-Padma and Lower Meghna rivers in the north and east by the Bay of Bengal to the south.
The region is surrounded by the Lower Meghna in the west, the Upper Meghna and TitasRiver in the North, by Feni River and estuary and coast in the south.
