Kamarhati

Kamarhati is a city with a region in Barrackpore subdivision in North 24 Parganas locale in the Indian province of West Bengal. It is a piece of Kolkata Urban Agglomeration. Kamarhati was a piece of North Suburban Municipality and in 1881-82 when it was renamed Baranagar Municipality, Kamarhati turned into a piece of it. In 1899, Kamarhati was isolated from Baranagar Municipality and Kamarhati Municipality came into existence.

Amid the British Raj it was a place for homes and gardens where the rich 'Babu' of Kolkata used to come. With the parcel of Bengal in 1947, "a huge number of exiles poured in from recent East Pakistan." In the underlying stages greater part of the displaced people were non-agriculturists. A couple of them made their own courses of action, however "it was squatters who made the East Bengali evacuees popular or scandalous." Squatting jabardakhal in Bengali went from the persuasive control of sleeping shelter to the aggregate assume control of private, government and waste land.

By 1949, there were 65 exile settlements in the Dum and Panihati zone. The squatters were as it were "self-pioneers" without sufficient authority courses of action for restoration. Inside a brief span the displaced people regularly with government/regulatory help found a place to remain as well as built up a general public with business sectors, schools, sanctuaries and once in a while even universities, healing facilities and recreational focuses.
