Location

This metro station is at ground level and located adjacent to New Garia railway station on the Sealdah - Sonarpur section.^[2]

After a lot of hardships and developmental work, the Kavi Subhash–Hemanta Mukhopadhyay section of Orange Line was inaugurated on 6 March 2024.^{[3][4][5][6][7]}

On July 28, 2025, cracks were detected in the last four columns of the Line-1's Up platform. The north-south platforms of the station was closed to passengers as a safety measure and the Blue line trains are being terminated Shahid Khudiram metro station. However, the empty rakes would continue to run upto the station for reversal and maintenance at its depot.^[8] On investigation, it was found that the damage on the columns supporting the platforms were weakened beyond repair. So, Metro Authorities decided to raze the entire North-South complex of the station (keeping the tracks intact) and rebuild it. E-tenders were floated and the work would take upto ten months to complete.^[9]
