From the early morning to midnight the area is surrounded with a lot of busy passengers, hawkers sounds of whistles of running trains n of course street beggers. There are many shops alocated at this area. Bidhannagar foot bridge has made to give people safety. A number of banks also are at Bidhannagar. Smell of hot pizzas, momos n many other street food waters our mouth. There are malls, complexes as well as flats for the middle class people. It is an admixture of peaceful co existence. Bidhannagar is one of the place I like very much.

One of the most busiest station in Kolkata. The platforms are clean and maintained. Enough stores to buy foods and other necessary things.

After sealdah it is one of the busiest railway station in greater Kolkata. But the platforms are really in bad condition & not maintained properly. Everyday thousands of peoples travel through this railway station. Specially during afternoon & evening time this railway station got really crowded. COVID restrictions are not maintained here at all. There is no hygienic drinking water supply. Rest rooms are the worst over here.

Departure board is there but no working. On platform there are many fans and also lights are there. Several ticket counter are there. ATVM or COTVM machine is there for ticket booking. At ticket counter fans are there and also sufficient light is there. Subway condition is not good condition. Most of the time water is deposit (stuck). Dustbin (several) is there for keep the waste.

It is in Greater Kolkata region and also a part of the area covered by the Kolkata Metropolitan Development Authority (KMDA). It consists of sub areas like Rajarhat and Salt lake, which was planned and developed between 1958 and 1965 to accommodate the burgeoning population of Kolkata. At the 2011 census, Bidhannagar Municipality had a population of 218,323 (males 111,363; females 106,960) in an area of approximately 13.16 square km with a density of about 16,590 persons per square kilometre. However, the area of Bidhannagar Municipality was 33.50 square km (much bigger than Salt Lake City) because it includes East Kolkata Wetlands area, where very few floating people live. Bidhannagar Municipality has an average literacy rate of 90.44% (higher than the national average of 74%), with male literacy of 93.08% and female literacy of 87.69%. The city has the second-highest proportion of graduates in the country (30.6 per cent), only after Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar, also known as Mohali, which has 34.4 per cent of its population as graduates. History of civic administration: Bidhannagar was originally developed and built under the direct administration of the Irrigation and Waterways Department of the Government of West Bengal. Initially, this planned city was under the South Dum Dum Municipality, then it came under the wings of the Public Works (Metropolitan Development) Department, which was renamed as the Urban Development Department in 1991. The whole area was divided into 5 sectors - Sector - I, Sector - II, Sector - III and Sector - IV as Residential Townships and Sector - V as Industrial Area. An administrator was also appointed to control all the municipal activities there. Present: Ultimately in 1995, Bidhannagar got its own elected body called Bidhannagar Municipality consisting of 23 wards (later increased to 25 wards). All the plots of land in Bidhanannagar are leasehold plots and the Urban Development Department (the Lessor) directly manages the land matters. East Kolkata Wetlands area is also included in Bidhannagar Municipality. The proposal for the merger of Bidhannagar Municipality with the Kolkata Municipal Corporation has been periodically mooted since 2011, but never realised due to different custodian of land and property tax-structures. Kolkata Airport, Rajarhat-Gopalpur (Kaikhali, Teghoria, Baguiati, Hatiara, Kestopur), parts of South Dum Dum (Dum Dum Park, Bangur Avenue, Lake Town) and Bidhannagar Municipality are already brought together under the jurisdiction of the Bidhannagar Police Commissionerate. On 18 June 2015, Bidhannagar Municipal Corporation (BMC) was constituted by merging the existing municipal areas of Bidhannagar Municipality, Rajarhat-Gopalpur Municipality and the panchayat area of Mahishbathan II Gram Panchayat. Now Bidhannagar Municipality has 14 wards (ward no. 28 to 41) under Bidhannagar Municipal Corporation. Nabadiganta Industrial Township Authority (NDITA) was created in January 2006. It supplies water; maintains sewerage, roads, street signals; furnishes important buildings and collects property tax and fees in Sector - V (excluded from the jurisdiction of Bidhannagar Municipal Corporation).
