Char Kukri Mukri is a char formed at the mouth of the Meghna and Tetulia rivers, about 120 km from the district town of Bhola. This char Kukri Mukri is home to one of the largest wildlife sanctuaries in Bangladesh. It is located at the mouth of the river Meghna, bordering the Bay of Bengal.
The island was born by the accumulation of sediment in the rough waters of the Meghna. Born on the shores of the sea, Kukri Mukri has been described by many as a dream island. Here the waves of the river Meghna take the form that it looks like you are on a beach in the sea.
In a (last revised) circular to the Forest Department on 14 May 1989, written instructions were issued to protect the lives and property of the people of the coastal region by planting mangroves in at least 360,000 acres of land in Bhola.
