Bajitpur is the only municipality in the east of the district. It does not seem to have any natural advantages to account for its population of 12,000 persons. It is 2 miles from the Ghorautra river and has no water connection in the cold weather. The roads from Dilalpur and Katiadi are both unbridged. Huge stretches of swamp come close up to the town on all sides, the most dreary and unpromising being that on the north. Even inside the municipal limits communications are made difficalt by khdls, which are never free of treacherous oozing mud. In the rains the Munsiff's Court and dispensary can only be reached by boat. There is a very poor Board bungalow facing a strip of hil on the south.
