Salt Lake City or Bidhannagar is a locality that is adjacent to the city of Kolkata but officially lies in the North 24 Parganas district. This locality is a planned and organized township divided into a number of blocks. It is in fact one of the first planned parts of the city of Kolkata. Salt Lake City began in 1962 when the swaps of eastern Kolkata were gradually filled up to accommodate the growing number of people coming to the city. This area is now one of the most developed parts of Kolkata and is home to Kolkata's biggest IT hub.
Another major advantage of this area is its very close proximity to Kolkata's international airport the Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport. Salt Lake City is a perfect blend of modern luxury and natural beauty. The region still has some of its original waterbodies and wetlands which have been maintained with walkways and embankments for tourists. On the other hand, Kolkata's large sports stadium, multiple shopping complexes, different engineering colleges, and huge business headquarters are also located in this same area.

I like this place but one thing that I think that needs to be improved is that the more security cameras should be installed
