A Government of W.B Head Office contains various diversity of administrative departments with higher level directorates which connects directly to the ministers. This is a 14 storey building consists of three blocks A, B ,C respectively. A little crowded place with huge amount of traffic as expected because of the presence of so many government(state and central both) building(office) here. Actually the traffic level depends upon the timing, in peak hours like 10 a.m -3 p.m the traffic level is too high but during night the traffic level is negligible. This building Placed at river bank of Ganges. One can witness Howrah Bridge from this place or N.S building balcony. The Howrah bridge is very close this place, actually the same Kiran Sankar roy Road whuch passes through this building connects howrah.
