The proposed corridor could connect: 📍 Budge Budge / Maheshtala 📍 Sonarpur / Baruipur 📍 Basirhat 📍 Kalyani Expressway 📍 Belgharia Expressway 📍 Dankuni 📍 Panchla If realised, the project could: ✅ Reduce pressure on Kolkata's urban roads ✅ Improve freight movement across the region ✅ Strengthen logistics connectivity ✅ Unlock new growth corridors around the metropolitan area Delhi, Hyderabad and several other major cities have benefited from orbital road networks that keep through-traffic out of city centres. For Kolkata, this could be far more than a road project.

Fair point, and I agree that infrastructure pages should discuss shortcomings alongside successes That said, it's been barely a month since the new government took office, and only a few days since most ministerial portfolios were finalized.

As time progresses, we will certainly highlight delays, shortcomings and policy failures wherever they exist. Constructive criticism is just as important as acknowledging progres For now, I think it's reasonable to give the departments some time to settle in before judging their performance on new initiatives
