The Titas (Bengali: তিতাস Titāsa; also Romanized Titash) is a transboundary river that merges into the Meghna river and forms part of the Surma-Meghna River System. Titas starts its journey from the Tripura State, with Haora as one of its right tributaries. The river is 98 kilometres (61 mi) long and joins Meghna river near Ashuganj, Brahmanbaria.[2] Bangladesh's first Y-shaped bridge is over this river connecting Comilla and Brahmanbaria.[3]
