Howrah is embracing the mall culture - Raghav Plaza enters the scene

People of Howrah are embracing the mall culture as Raghav Plaza makes its entry - it is in Howrah and is located near the 30-year-old AC Market on Dobson Road. Mall culture has caught on not only in Kolkata but in Howrah as well and shoppers have migrated from markets to malls.
The air-conditioned comfort, ease of access with elevators and escalators and parking facilities give malls an obvious edge over traditional markets.
This has been reported in telegraphindia.com dated 19 January 2017.

Raghav Plaza is G+2 situated on Dobson Road, just 100 metres from the 30-year-old AC Market. It occupies more than 33,000 square feet, has more than 90 shops, a food court, spacious corridors, elevators, escalators and basement parking facility for 60 cars.
It may be recalled that Avani Riverside Mall was the first to open its doors in south Howrah five years ago. It was followed by Forum Rangoli which spread the mall-plex-plaza fever to the congested north in 2015.
Then there is the 1,20,000sq ft Aurobindo Mall in Salkia - it has three anchor stores - Pantaloons, Bazaar Kolkata and Reliance Trends. A plex and food court are scheduled to open soon along with terrace parking facility. Aurobindo Mall is just 3-Km away from Howrah bridge and is expected to draw customers from across the river as well. It is understood that Mumbai-based Miraj Cinemas will debut in Bengal with its first multiplex here.
