HUNTER (1879, 2: 139): The Maheshkhálí river [note 1], which forms a part of the eastern boundary of the [Gáro Hills] District, flows a subterranean course for many miles under the limestone rocks which form its bed. It disappears not far from the Yindká peak [note 2], and comes out again near Billar Dhobá (note 3). ALLEN (1906: 5) confirms that the Maheshkhola flows for many miles under the limestone rocks which form its bed. It disappears not far from the Yindka peak, and reappears again near Billar Dhoba. Compare the –>Maheshkhola and –>Menggo Kol / Mongo Kol, the Mangokhor on AMS sheet NG46-09 Tura (U502 series, 1959 edition).HUNTER (1879, 2: 139): The Maheshkhálí river [note 1], which forms a part of the eastern boundary of the [Gáro Hills] District, flows a subterranean course for many miles under the limestone rocks which form its bed.
