Krishnanagar

Krishnanagar, also known as Jhandenagar, is a municipality in Kapilvastu District in the western Terai of Nepal. It was established on 18 May 2014 by merging the former village development committees of Krishnanagar, Sirsihawa and Shivanagar. The town sits on Nepal's southern border with India, across from Barhani Bazar. Movement of Indian and Nepalese nationals across the border is unrestricted, although a customs checkpoint handles goods. The F-12 Chandrauta-Krishnanagar road links it to the east-west Mahendra Highway. The English Wikipedia article describes a commercial local economy with rice, oil and steel mills, a sugar mill and cement industries, and a mixed population of Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs who celebrate one another's festivals.
