The Barak Valley is the southernmost region and administrative division of the Indian state of Assam. It is named after the Barak river.[2] The Barak valley consists of three administrative districts of Assam namely - Cachar, Karimganj, and Hailakandi.[3] The main and largest city is Silchar, which seats the headquarter of Cachar district and also serves as administrative divisional office of Barak valley division.[4] The valley is bordered by Mizoram and Tripura to the south, Bangladesh and Meghalaya to the west and Manipur to the east respectively.[5] Once North Cachar Hills was a part of Cachar district which became a subdivision in 1951 and eventually a separate district.[6] On 1 July 1983, Karimganj district was curved out from the eponymous subdivision of Cachar district. In 1989 the subdivision of Hailakandi was upgraded into Hailakandi district.[7]
