Nooriganj (Bhojpuri: नूरीगंज) is a residential and commercial neighborhood and together with Bhatni Bazar forms a small town in Deoria district of Uttar Pradesh, India.[1] Nooriganj is situated between the river Chhoti Gandak and Bhatni railway station.
History and Origin
A unit of “U.P. State Sugar Corporation Limited” was established in 1912 at Bhatni, district Deoria with capital investment of 73.64 lakh, crushing capacity 1016 TCD and employment of 1000 persons which has presently 20 crore.[2] When the major share-holding of the newly built Sugar Mill was purchased by Noori Miya and Co. around 1921 or so, he put the foundation of a commercial and residential area. This area near the newly built Sugar Mill was known among the people as Nooriganj Bazar after his name. Noori Mian was a well known member of the Iraqi Birdri/or Iraqi Sayyids of Eastern U.P., and was a successful and enterprising human being. He owned Bhatni Sugar Mill together with Siwan Sugar Mill at that time.[3] Nooriganj settlement initially accommodated Bhatni Sugar Mill employees, but at the present time there are more than five dozen families live with some business offices; next to the settlement is a Kabristan where the ex-owner of the mill is buried after his death.[4]
