You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.230.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 11:04, 19 October 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Kestopur''' (officially, '''Krishnapur''') is a neighborhood of [[Kolkata]] in [[North 24 Parganas district]] in the [[States and territories of India|Indian state]] of [[West Bengal]]. It is under [[Bidhannagar Municipal Corporation]] and also a part of the area covered by [[Kolkata Metropolitan Development Authority]] (KMDA).<ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.bmcwbgov.in/index.php/about-us/about-bmc|title=About BMC - Bidhannagar Municipal Corporation|website=www.bmcwbgov.in|access-date=2018-12-30))</ref>

Kestopur lies on [[Kazi Nazrul Islam Sarani]], more commonly known as VIP Road, which connects the area with [[Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport|Dumdum/Kolkata Airport]]. The community is made up of people of various religions from different states. Kestopur has over the years become an area of great prominence because of its proximity to areas like [[Salt Lake City, Kolkata|Salt Lake]] and [[New Town, Kolkata|New Town]]. VIP Road-Kestopur crossing was one of the busiest of the [[Kazi Nazrul Islam Sarani]]. However the construction of a flyover along with subway at the crossing (the subway was opened on 24 June 2014 and the flyover on 8 March 2015) helps in decongesting the traffic at the junction and nearby areas.<ref>((cite news|last1=Chakraborti|first1=Suman|title=Kolkata's VIP Road flyover to be opened tomorrow|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kolkata/Kolkatas-VIP-Road-flyover-to-be-opened-tomorrow/articleshow/46479930.cms|access-date=17 April 2015|publisher=Times of India|date=6 March 2015))</ref>

==Transport==
((cn span|text=[[VIP Road]] passes along the west boundary of Kestopur. Many buses ply through 'Kestopur More' on [[VIP Road]]. The only bus which enters into Kestopur is 12C/2 ([[Aquatica (Kolkata)|Aquatica]]-[[Howrah Station]]), which runs along Thakdari Road (Krishnapur Main Road).|date=October 2022))

On the eastern side of VIP Road, Kestopur Main Road serves as an important connector for New Town, Narkelbagan and Saltlake Sector V. On the eastern side, Prafullakanan road serves heavily populated areas of Dumdum park, Shyamnagar, which terminates at Jessore Road.

Finally, after a delay of 15 long years, the Salt Lake - Kestopur gap was bridged. On 25 September 2022, the much-awaited Salt Lake - Kestopur Bridge was inaugurated alleviating the inconvenience of the people by reducing the distance between Salt Lake and Kestopur to a mere 36 meters. Previously, residents of Kestopur had to enter Salt Lake through either of the two ways,  Lake Town Bailey Bridge or Newtown and both of them were time-consuming lengthy routes. The bridge has been opened between AK Block of Salt Lake and Samarpally of Kestopur. This new facility is  especially aiding motorists moving towards the airport as the travel time has got substantially cut down. The 36-metre-long bridge has two lanes along with footpaths on both sides to facilitate vehicles from Salt Lake to enter VIP Road and vice versa without having to move all the way towards Ultadanga or Chinar Park. Residents living in the Sector II area of Salt Lake as well as those commuting from Baguiati and the airport will benefit from this new development. Previously, all airport-bound vehicles from Salt Lake's Sector I and Sector II areas had to move towards Ultadanga and then take the VIP Road to move towards the airport.<ref name=":1">((Cite web |title=Kolkata: New bridge at Kestopur canal all set to open before puja by end of September |url=https://www.timesnownews.com/kolkata/kolkata-new-bridge-at-kestopur-canal-all-set-to-open-before-puja-by-end-of-september-article-93708272 |access-date=2022-09-25 |website=TimesNow |date=22 August 2022 |language=en))</ref>
