About
About Durg
Durg is a city in the Indian state of Chhattisgarh, east of the Shivnath River and is part of the Durg-Bhilai urban agglomeration. With an urban population of 1,064,077, Durg-Bhilai is the second most populous urban area in Chhattisgarh after Raipur.
Durg sits along the east bank of the Shivnath River on the Chhattisgarh plain with some hills to the south and southwest. It is an agricultural center, with the huge Bhilal steel plant to the east. Historically, it was part of the Kosala kingdom of ancient India. Its name is derived from the Hindi term "durga" for fort, and it used to be a fortress from which the Marathas subjugated Chhattisgarh. The National Highway No. 6 (Mumbai - Sambalpur - Kolkata) is the major highway of the district and the train route is the main line of the South Eastern Railway midway between Mumbai-Kolkata.
