Further violence occurred around the issue of Durga Mela - these riots began after a false rumour that Muslims had slaughtered a cow, which was eventually found alive. Another riot in 1959 on the issue of cow slaughter killed 11 people, again mostly Muslims, and destroyed 200 houses. Subsequent riots occurred in 1967, 1968, 1969, and 1989. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Geography">Geography</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Sitamarhi_district&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Geography"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Sitamarhi district occupies an area of 2,294 square kilometres (886 sq mi),<sup id="cite_ref-Reference_Annual_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Reference_Annual-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> comparatively equivalent to <a href="/wiki/Australia" title="Australia">Australia</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Groote_Eylandt" title="Groote Eylandt">Groote Eylandt</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Islands_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Islands-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>It is bordered by Nepal to the north, <a href="/wiki/Madhubani_district" title="Madhubani district">Madhubani</a> district to the east, <a href="/wiki/Darbhanga_district" title="Darbhanga district">Darbhanga</a> and <a href="/wiki/Muzaffarpur_district" title="Muzaffarpur district">Muzaffarpur</a> districts to the south, and <a href="/wiki/Sheohar_district" title="Sheohar district">Sheohar</a> and <a href="/wiki/East_Champaran_district" title="East Champaran district">East Champaran</a> districts to the west. </p><p>It is situated on a flood plain.
