Aurobindo Sarani (formerly Grey Street ) is one of the oldest and most congested main roads in north part of Kolkata . Many buses, taxis and auto-rickshaws use the road. It connects Ultadanga with Shobhabazar . West of Gouribari, Ultadanga Main Road (Bidhannagar Road) becomes Aurobindo Sarani. It becomes Shobhabazar Street after crossing Jatindra Mohan Avenue (Shobhabazar Petrol Station). ^[1] This road's name is a tribute for Aurobindo Ghosh , a famous freedom-fighter and Hindu saint of India.

Aurobindo Sarani consists of several important places, such as APC Road crossing, Bidhan Sarani crossing and Jatindra Mohan Avenue crossing. This is a very busy road, consisting of one of Kolkata's biggest markets, the Hatibagan Market, at Bidhan Sarani Crossing. ^[1]

The road is connected to Ultadanga Main Road (Bidhannagar Road) with Arobindo Setu (Gouribari Bridge), over one of Kolkata's canals. The bridge was opened in 1974 and connects Khanna/Gouribari ( Maniktala ) with Ultadanga . The bridge is poorly maintained. ^[2]
