Tram Closed In Kolkata: West Bengal Govt to Halt Kolkata’s Iconic Tram Service, Sparks Protests

Tram Closed In Kolkata: The West Bengal government plans to discontinue Kolkata’s 150-year-old tram service, except for a heritage stretch from Maidan to Esplanade. Transport Minister Snehasis Chakraborty cited traffic congestion caused by slow-moving trams as the reason for the decision. In response, tram enthusiasts and the Calcutta Tram Users Association (CUTA) have launched protests, arguing that trams are non-polluting and can be efficiently maintained. The government is also considering a public-private partnership to revive certain tram routes, while activists push for the preservation of this iconic mode of transport.
