In news

During July 2019, as tunneling work of East West Metro Railway was being undertaken, due to unforeseen or faulty soil testing, a part of underground tunneling affected the lad character of the Bowbazaar area adjacent to BB Ganguly street. This caused problems for the gold merchants of B B Ganguly area as their shops were affected badly.[2]
