The Dighi is situated on 2500 acres of land in the middle of Amalatla and Khatial village under Kalkini Police station. It is known that, during the Mughal Emperor Jahangir's time, a large army led by Subahdar Islam Khan spent some time here on his way to Dhaka. The Dighi was dug by the army forces to meet the shortage of drinking water. For this reason, this Dighi is named after "the commander of the army”.
