Which cra of the following Indian ci is not located on a river bank ?

Based on geographical data, Agra is situated on the banks of the Yamuna river in Uttar Pradesh [2]. Kanpur is a major industrial city located on the banks of the Ganges. Bhagalpur, located in Bihar, is also situated along the Ganges river [2]. In contrast, Bhopal, the capital of Madhya Pradesh, is not located on the bank of any major river. Bhopal is famously known as the 'City of Lakes' due to its various natural and artificial lakes, such as the Upper Lake (Bhojtal) and Lower Lake, but it lacks a primary riverfront characteristic of the other cities mentioned. While the Yamuna and Ganges systems support numerous urban centers across the northern plains [1], Bhopal's geography is defined by its hilly terrain and lacustrine features rather than a riverine location.
