WBHIDCO Ltd. has already developed its first action area i.e. AA-I covering around 660 Ha situated between
Krishnapur & Bagjola Canals. Though internal roads & infrastructural services (drainage, sewerage, water supply etc.) have already been provided in Sector 'A' of AA-I, provision of such facilities is in full
swing in remaining other sectors such as 'B', 'C' & 'D' There has been a sea - change in New Town's attraction as a future vibrant urban center.
Major connectivity already achieved through
construction of North South Major Arterial Road covering a distance of 10.57 KM length which is already providing an alternative to EM Bye-pass & VIP Road, leading to the airport. It is needless to
mention that Major Arterial Road will, in addition to cater to the need of the people of New Town connect South 24-Pargans and North 24-Parganas Districts and a big portion of Kolkata, creating a high speed
alternative corridor.
It will also connect National Highway 34 and National Highway 35 via VIP Road. Dum Dum
Airport will be connected with the Central Business District of Kolkata through this road. This Major Arterial Road thus stretching the benefit to a large number of people has, to all intents and
purposes, got the status of a state level highway. Accessibility to & from New Town shall further improve with construction of the flyover on EM Bye-pass at Chingrihata &
6-lane approach road to Krishnapur Canal bridge starting from Salt Lake Bye-pass.
Allotment of over 5550 plots were made in AA-I and part of AA-II and WBHIDCO Ltd. have started
handing over possession of plots Apart from this, one housing complex for economically weaker section, by WBHIDCO, one housing complex for all sections by WB Housing Board, one by a joint
venture company have already come up. A good number of the flats have been handed over to the allottees.
Proper connectivity to and from the rest of the metropolis
has been specially emphasized. Construction of Bagjola 2nd bridge and southern extension of Major Arterial Road , parallel to the existing MAR will be started very soon. Series of infrastructure
development are in the planning stage, viz, extension of northern part of Major Arterial Road to connect Belghoria Expressway and NH-34, construction of one east west corridor from the existing Major
Arterial Road to Kolkata-Basanti Road near Kolkata Leather Complex, effective water transport system through Krishnapur canal and railway connection in New Town. Steps are being taken for development of IT
industries on 10 acre land by a nationally reputed firm through WEBEL and 50 acres of land through a nationally reputed developer.
