The correct answer is option 2. Key Points The Barak River rises from the Manipur hills at the Liyai Kullen village in Senapati district, Manipur. It then flows through Manipur’s Tamenglong district, enters Cachar district of Assam, and later splits into the Surma and Kushiyara rivers in Bangladesh. The valley formed by the Barak in Assam is known as the Barak Valley (covering Cachar, Hailakandi, and Karimganj).
