Kadamtala is a residential as well as semi-industrial area in the central part of Howrah City in Howrah District in the Presidency Division of south of West Bengal.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NGA GeoName Database )〕 ==History== This area was a part of bhurshut kingdom. This area was mainly developed under British occupation when ceded by Nawab of Murshidabad after the Battle of Plassey. With the establishment of the Howrah Railway Terminus in 1854 started the most important phase of its industrial development. Flour mills were established in 1855, followed by Jute mills and around the 1870s, there were five mills near Howrah station.() The Howrah–Shalimar Railway Section and the Shalimar Terminus were constructed in 1883. Kadamtala was also a major railway junction of Martin's Light Railways. Kadamtala has turned to an industrial area during world war II. A high demand of iron leads to establish a number of small and medium-sized iron-casting industries. Gradually the city of Howrah was called as Sheffield of Bengal when Mr. Alamohan Das established a large factory township named Dasnagar. A large number of Machines/tools/precision instruments manufacturiing factories were established. All the above reasons result to a flow of population from rural belts of Howrah, Hooghly and Midnapur districts to this area to meet the demand of a high demand of labor. Gradually, this area has become a densely populated area with the location advantage of industries of Dasnagar in west, Howrah Railway terminus in east. The rapid growth of population and negligence of planned infrastructure of the British Government and then flux of people from Bangladesh (then East Pakistan) leads to a breakdown of infrastructure of unplanned and narrow roads. The economic decline of West Bengal after partition of India also causes a big blow to Howrah's famous jute and machine-tools industries. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kadamtala」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
