Explanation
The Jonk River is a tributary of the Mahanadi River, not the Ganga. It flows through the Mahasamund district of Chhattisgarh and the Nuapada and Bargarh districts of Odisha, eventually joining the Mahanadi at Seorinarayan.
The other rivers mentioned are part of the Ganga river basin:
- Punpun River: It is a direct tributary of the Ganga that originates in the Palamu district of Jharkhand and joins the Ganga at Fatuha in Bihar.
- Ajoy River: It originates in Jharkhand and flows through West Bengal to join the Bhagirathi-Hooghly river system (a major distributary of the Ganga).
- Jalangi River: It is a distributary of the Padma/Ganga in West Bengal that joins the Bhagirathi river to form the Hooghly River.
