    		Lohachara Island was an islet which was permanently flooded in the 1980s.[1] It was located in the Hooghly River as part of the Sundarban delta in the Sundarban National Park, located near the Indian state of West Bengal The definite disappearance of the island was reported by Indian researchers in December 2006[2], which lead to international press coverage.
    The islet is one of a number of "vanishing islands" in India's part of the delta: in the past two decades, four islands – Bedford, Lohachara, Kabasgadi and Suparibhanga – have been permanently flooded and 6,000 families have been made homeless.[3] The loss of land has created thousands of refugees in the area.
