Sultanpur: A Gazeteer Being Volume XLVI of the District Gazetteer of the United Provinces of Agra and Oudh

1903

Of the three belts referred to above the Gumti circle and the lake t raft will be dealt with separately in the account of the swamps and jhils of the district and of tke precarious tracts. [...] The best portions of the dikrict include the north-west of Isauli the centre of Musfirkhana the dry areas of Asal and Chanda and the higher central portion of Miranpur. [...] The chief natural drawbacks of the district are the defective drainage of some parganas and the liability of the riparian tracts along the Gumti to flooding. [...] The great causes of the fever that prevails in the district appear to be the defective drainage and the annual saturation of the soil by the rains. [...] While the Ajodhya pilgrims are generally made the scapegoat it must be observed that the disease often originates on the spot the prime causes being the pollution of wells and the neglect of conservancy combined with the native's unrestrained appetite in the matter of fruit and vegetables.
