KolkataNews.in is a digital news platform for Kolkata and its metropolitan region. Our mission is to be the most trusted, real-time, hyper-local digital news authority for the city — reporting what matters to its neighbourhoods, its people, its businesses and its culture, clearly and without exaggeration. We cover the city at street level and at scale: civic services, transport, weather and public safety; business and jobs; sport, arts and festivals; education and community life. Where a story affects daily life in Kolkata, Howrah, Salt Lake, New Town and the wider metropolitan region, we aim to explain what happened, why it matters and what happens next. Our standard is accuracy before speed: we verify claims, name our sources where possible, correct errors promptly and transparently, and keep news, analysis and opinion clearly separate. Readers can find our editorial standards, corrections approach and contact routes elsewhere on this site.
