The southern suburbs of Kolkata are as popular as the northern suburbs of the city. A solid network of local road and rail transportation connects it to the core city. This is one reason why the region attracts crowds of people looking for shorter outings. Another reason, of course, is that since the region is less polluted it has a great supply of pure oxygen.
A number of picnic spots spread in the region. Some have already become popular while others have just made an entry into the scenario. We have already covered some of those spots in our earlier articles. This week, we are coming up with another picnic spot in the southern suburbs of Kolkata, the Regency Garden.
