Netaji Subash Chandra Bose Road
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is an important thoroughfare in South Kolkata that runs in a north-west to south-east direction. It connects the localities of Tollygunge in the north-west and Garia in the south-east.
This road is a narrow road, but given it's significance it carries a considerable amount of traffic throughout the day.

[edit] Localities
The Netaji Subash Chandra Bose Road (or N.S.C. Bose Road) starts from the Tollygunge Tram Depot crossing and passes through the localities of Ashoknagar, Ranikuthi, Netajinagar, Bansdroni, Naktala and finally touches Raja SC Mullick Road at Garia. It runs nearly parallel to the Tolly's Nullah all along from Ranikuthi.
Most of the localities along this road were former refugee colonies, for the huge number of people who had to migrate from erstwhile East Bengal (now Bangladesh) post the partition of Bengal in 1947.
To ease the amount of traffic and congestion on this road, the Kolkata Metro's south extension to Garia is currently under construction and is planned to open soon.
