Because this is an affluent neighbourhood, power outages are rare. Even if a cable failure happens, CESC restores power as soon as possible. People don't have enough time to intervene in other people's affairs, hence the region is relatively tranquil and peaceful. Because the streets are well lit, the area is very safe at night. The Kolkata Municipal Corporation has done an excellent job of keeping the streets clean and sanitary, and there is an ample supply of water. The well-known 'Jadubabur Bazaar' is within walking distance of this location. Nearby schools include St. John's Diocesan Girls' Higher Secondary School, La Martiniere for Girls School, and Hartley Higher Secondary School....read more
