The initiative is expected to address long-standing connectivity issues and improve daily mobility for residents in densely populated neighbourhoods. The inauguration was attended by state minister Ujjwal Biswas, Nadia District Magistrate Anish Dasgupta and Krishnagar Municipal Administrator and Sub-Divisional Officer Sharadwati Choudhury, along with senior officials and public representatives.

The three roads being developed in the first phase are Gharami Para Lane, Kaibarta Para Lane and Tarak Das Banerjee Lane. These areas have faced persistent problems due to poor road conditions, particularly during the monsoon season.

Sharadwati Choudhury said this marks the first time Krishnagar municipality has undertaken such a large-scale road construction programme with direct state government funding under the Pathashree scheme. She added that a total of 27 roads across Krishnagar are being developed under the project, supervised by the Municipal Engineering Directorate, with the current works representing the initial phase.

Officials said the estimated cost of constructing the three roads is around Rs 7.8 million. Once completed, the wider project is expected to significantly enhance internal connectivity within the town and reduce daily commuting challenges.

Minister Ujjwal Biswas said the Pathashree project reflects the state government’s emphasis on strengthening grassroots infrastructure. He noted that improved road networks are essential for economic activity and quality of life, and reaffirmed the government’s commitment to sustained urban development in towns such as Krishnagar.

Local residents welcomed the initiative, expressing optimism that the new roads would end years of inconvenience caused by damaged and narrow lanes. With construction now underway, visible improvements in connectivity and mobility are expected in the coming months.
