Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Khadar, the new alluvium, is more fertile than the older alluvium bhangra. Bhangar is the area lying beyond the floodplains of the Ganga and Brahmaputra rivers. These areas are the regions that were once replenished by the river, but the continuous accumulation of sediments has turned them into uplands. The rivers no longer flow through the region. Khadar is found in the floodplains of the rivers and is replenished annually by the flooding of the rivers. Bhangar has more sand content compared to the loamy khadar. The rich silt content, nutrients, and continuous sediment deposition make khadar more fertile than bhangra.
The correct statement would be Khadar, the new alluvium, is more fertile than the older alluvium bhangra.
