Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Road 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 Rajpur Sonarpur in the south through Garia.

The road is narrow, but given its significance it carries a considerable amount of traffic throughout

the day.

Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Road (or N.S.C. Bose Road) starts from the Tollygunge Tram Depot

crossing and passes through the localities of Ashoknagar, Ranikuthi, Netaji Nagar, Bansdroni,

and Naktala and touches Raja SC Mullick Road at Garia and from there passes through Rajpur

Sonarpur touching the localities of Garia, Narendrapur,Harinavi up to the southern fringes of South

Kolkata. 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) after thepartition of Bengal in

1947.

To ease the amount of traffic and congestion on this road, the Kolkata Metro's south extension to

Garia opened in 2009. The metro tracks run parallel to this road on the Tolly's Nullah and has the

following stations:

1. Netaji (Kudghat)

2. Masterda Surya Sen (Bansdroni)

3. Gitanjali (Naktala)

4. Kavi Nazrul (Garia Bazaar)
