Indira Gandhi Sarani, formerly Red Road, is a road in Central Kolkata that runs from Eden Gardens (Rashmoni Avenue-Gostho Paul Sarani Junction) to Fort William West Gate (Dufferin Road-Outram Road Junction). South of Fort William West Gate, Red Road becomes Casuarina Road/Khiddirpore Road.[1] The road, a wide boulevard, was built in 1820.[2] It bisects the Kolkata Maidan.[3] The British authorities intended for the road to be able to host large parades.[3] The name 'Red Road' was given due to its surfacing.[3]
Republic Day Parade on Red Road
During the Second World War, the road, in the heart of Calcutta, served as a landing strip for Fighter aircraft.[4] The annual Kolkata Marathon starts from the outside of the Rangers Club on Red Road.[5] The name 'Indira Gandhi Sarani' was adopted in 1985.[6]
