Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
India's three major river systems, the Indus, the Ganga, and the Brahmaputra, along with their tributaries, have formed the Northern Plains. These rivers have fertile deposits that form alluvial soil. These plains also have various relief features and are divided into four regions. First, the rivers deposit rocks and pebbles in a narrow belt of about 8 to 16 km in width, parallel to the slopes of the Shiwaliks, also known as Bhabar. Second, Terai is the swampy and marshy region to the south of the belt formed by the re-emergence of streams and rivers creating this wet region. Finally, the largest part of the northern plains is formed by the older alluvium lying above the floodplains of the rivers presenting a terrace-like feature known as Bhangar.
The correct statement would be that Bhangar is the new alluvium which is not fertile.
