In West Bengal, it goes through North Dinajpur district and has a bird sanctuary around it.[2] In 2017, the river flooded resulting in the death of three people.[3] The river has shrank due illegal dumping of waste and grabbing of land by the river.[4] The government of West Bengal has been trying to revive the river.[4]

It goes through Thakurgaon District in Bangladesh.[5][6] The people of Thakurgaon have been demanding the government of Bangladesh build a bridge on Kulik River.[7] The palace of Raja Tonkonath lies by the banks of Kulik River.[8]
