Khidir Canal is a canal located in Dhaka, Bangladesh, also known as the RAJUK Canal and partially as the Abdullahpur Canal. This 8-kilometer-long canal originates from the Tongi River, flows through the city's Uttara and Mirpur areas, and merges with the Turag River. It was formed following the disappearance of the Konai River.
