Karunamoyee
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Karunamoyee Housing Estate (Bengali করুনাময়ী হাউসিং এস্টেট) is a housing estate located in Bidhannagar, Kolkata, constructed in two phases for middle- and lower-middle-class people who wished to settle in the newly established new town of Bidhannagar (Salt Lake). It is Asia's second largest housing estate.
Karunamoyee consists of several "blocks", which are groups of apartment buildings having the same floorplan. Phase I, constructed in the seventies, consists of blocks A through D; Phase II, constructed in the eighties, consists of blocks F, G, H, K, L and M.
Karunamoyee crossing, located to the north of the housing estate, has become an important transport hub because of the proximity of several government and municipal buildings, as well as Kolkata's nascent IT industry centred in Bidhannagar's "Sector V".
