Prince Anwar Shah Road is a busy road of South Kolkata. It is named after Prince Gulam Mohammed Anwar Ali Shah, one of Tipu Sultan's 12 sons.
In the aftermath of the death of Tipu Sultan, during the battle of Mysore, the then British rulers threw all twelve sons of Tipu into prison at Vellore. Suspecting that they had powered an abortive rebellion in Vellore jail they were moved to another prison in Calcutta in 1807.
The road starts from the Raja SC Mullick Road where the Jadavpur Police Station is located and is connected to Tollygunge on the west. It first runs to the left of South Kolkata neighbourhood Jodhpur Park before running through Lake Gardens and finally reaching Tollygunge. The South City Mall on Prince Anwar Shah Road, Calcutta’s first "destination mall", opened its shop floor in early July 2007.
The South City mini-township is located on a 31.14-acre (126,000 m2) site on Prince Anwar Shah Road in the heart of South Kolkata, just opposite Jodhpur Park. It is minutes away from top city clubs like RCGC and Tollygunge Club, hospitals such as AMRI and EEDF and a stone’s throw from the Metro stations at Tollygunge and Rabindra Sarobar and the connector to EM Bypass and Lake Gardens Rail Overbridge.
The much-awaited Prince Anwar Shah Road connector (Kalikapur Road) to the Eastern Metropolitan Bypass was opened to the public on 1 March, 2007. Prince Anwar Shah Road is connected to Kalikapur Road with Jibanananda Setu (Selimpur Rail Overbridge). [1]
