Location

Dum Dum is an elevated metro station on the North-South corridor of the Blue Line of Kolkata Metro in Kolkata, West Bengal, India.^[1]^[2]^[3] The metro station adjoins the platforms of the Dum Dum Junction railway station where connections can be made with Indian Railways services.

The Kolkata Metro Line 1 (Blue Line) was built in stretches from time to time. The first section opened between Esplanade & Bhawanipore (now called Netaji Bhawan) in 1984 and the stretch was not connected to the Dum Dum Metro station. Metro service started from Dum Dum to Belgachia in parallel with the extension of the line to the south but the service was stopped due to lack of passengers. The stretch was very unpopular. Metro service from Dum Dum metro station restarted in 1994 connecting Shyambazar metro station. The service from Dum Dum metro station to Tollygunge station started in 1995. Dum Dum metro station was the terminal station in the northern end of the city before the Blue line was extended to Dakshineshwar metro station.
