Beautiful Historic 'Jashore Road'

April 28, 2026 12:48pm CST
Jessore Road is a historic 121-km international highway connecting Kolkata (Shyambazar) in India to Jashore in Bangladesh, passing through Dum Dum, Barasat, and the Petrapole border. Renowned for its ancient rain trees, this route served as a critical refugee path during the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War and is famously depicted in Allen Ginsberg's poem, "September on Jessore Road".
