'Meitei watercourse'),[1] is a river in India's Manipur state that flows into the Chin State of Myanmar, where it merges with the Myittha River, a tributary of the Chindwin river.[2] It passes through Tonzang and Tedim town of Myanmar.
It merges into the Chindwin River (also called the Ningthi River[3]). The Chindwin river then merges into the Irrawaddy River, which then flows south till it empties into the Andaman Sea, adjoining the Bay of Bengal and thereby connecting Imphal city to the sea.
