Konnagar Municipality was established in 1944. Sib Chandra Deb contributed tirelessly towards the development of Konnagar. After independence a large number of displaced persons from East Pakistan came and settled in Konnagar.[1]
Geographyedit
Konnagar Municipality covers an area of 4.67 sq km and has a total population of 76,152 (2011).[2]
In 1981, 27.09% of the total population formed main workers and 72.91% were non-workers in Konnagar Municipality and 49.26% of the total main workers were industrial workers. This may be interpreted as follows: although industrial activities are prominent in the municipal areas of the region, the major portion of the population is commuters and migrants find employment in the area.[3]
Healthcareedit
Konnagar Matri Sadan O Sishu Mangal Pratisthan, with 43 beds, is located in the Konnagar Municipality area.[4]
About the 2010 municipal elections, The Guardian wrote, "Today's municipal elections are unlike any for decades: the Communists, who have held West Bengal's main towns almost without a break since the 1970s, are facing disaster… This time defeat is likely to be definitive and could signal the beginning of the end for the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPIM)."[7]
In the 2005 municipal elections for Konnagar Municipality, CPI (M) won 12 seats, Congress 3 seats, Trinamool Congress 2 seats and others 2 seats.[8]
