Kestopur (also known as Krishnapur) is a neighbourhood in Bidhannagar of North 24 Parganas district in the Indian state of West Bengal. It is a part of the area covered by Kolkata Metropolitan Development Authority (KMDA).[1][2]
Kestopur lies on Kazi Nazrul Islam Sarani, more commonly known as VIP Road, which connects the area with Dumdum/Kolkata Airport. The community is made up of people of various religions from different states. Kestopur has over the years become an area of great prominence because of its proximity to areas like Salt Lake and New Town. VIP Road-Kestopur crossing was one of the busiest of the Kazi Nazrul Islam Sarani. However the construction of a flyover along with subway at the crossing (the subway was opened on 24 June 2014 and the flyover on 8 March 2015) helps in decongesting the traffic at the junction and nearby areas.[3]
