Southeast Kolkata
.JPG)
Southeast Kolkata consists of the suburbs southeast of the city, including Anandapur, Baghajatin, Garia, Lake Gardens, Mukundapur, Jadavpur, Jodhpur Park, Patuli, Santoshpur and Tollygunge, all of which are governed by the Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC). Historically, these areas were distinct towns or villages southeast of Kolkata with their own identities before being absorbed into the municipal borders.
This article also covers outlying areas like Narendrapur, Rajpur, Sonarpur and Subhasgram, all governed by the South 24 Parganas district administration. Ironically, the headquarters of the district is in Alipore, well outside the district boundaries.

Map of Southeast KolkataBy bus
[edit]A large number of bus routes from inner Kolkata and the countryside ply here. Air-conditioned buses have also started plying, for example, from Sulekha to New Town and from Tollygunge to Kolkata Airport. There are many long-distance buses from southeastern places to the north, which avoid the city crowds and travel via the EM Bypass.
Garia has three bus stands. Garia No. 5 handles buses coming along Raja SC Mullick Road. The second bus depot handles buses coming along NSC Bose Road. There is a bus stand in Patuli, handling 45 no. private bus. The Garia-Gol Park autos leave from opposite the No. 5 Bus Stand. Garia No. 6 handles buses coming along NSC Bose Road. Buses travelling south of Garia are handled by either the No. 5 or No. 6 depots, depending on the direction they are coming from. Autos on the Garia-Tollygunge route leave from near this bus stand. There are also autos for Boral.
By metro
[edit]Southeast Kolkata is served by metro lines 1 and 6 . Both once terminated at Kavi Subhash, near New Garia Sealdah South , but the metro station is closed since July 2025 due to cracks at the station's columns. Until the metro station is rebuilt, you have to travel between 1 Kavi Nazrul 1 
and 2 Satyajit Ray 6 on road to switch the lines, and make sure the token is with you.
By local train
[edit]Southeast Kolkata is served by the Ballygunge-Sonarpur branch of the Sealdah South line, which further divides into Sonarpur-Canning, Baruipur-Diamond Harbour and Baruipur-Namkhana lines.
