=Azimganj=

Town in the Lalbagh subdivision of Murshidabad
District, Bengal, situated in 24 15' N. and 88° 16' E., on the right bank
of the Bhagirathi. The population of Azimganj, together with Jiaganj
on the opposite bank, which is included within the same municipal
limits, was 13,385 in 1901. Azimganj is the terminus of the branch
railway from Nalhati junction, and is an important trade centre.
A small steamer runs in connexion with the railway between Azimganj
and Berhampore, but sometimes during the dry season it cannot get
beyond Lalbagh. Azimganj is connected by a ferry with Jiaganj on
the opposite bank ; and a service of steamers, which plies during the
rains between Jiaganj and Dhulian, calls here for goods and passengers.
The town contains many well-built houses and some handsome temples
belonging to Jain merchants. Azimganj was constituted a municipality
in 1896. The income during the eight years ending 1903-4 averaged
Rs. 16,000, and the expenditure Rs. 15,000. In 1903-4 the income
was Rs. 16,000, of which Rs. 9,000 was derived from a tax on persons
(or property tax) ; and the expenditure was Rs. 15,500.
