Princep Ghat serves it's namesake place in Kolkata. Princep Gate serves as a memorial for James Princep, and hence is a very popular place for the people to spend their time in the evening adjacent to the cool Ganges breeze!
PPGT and BBDB are major crossing points for local train criss-crossing in the opposing directions...
Oh, and Sealdah's sister terminal station Kolkata lies in this section and a lot people do use the services of the Circular rail (Chakra rail) to ferry in and out of Chitpur....
