Habra II community development block, Administrative block in Barasat Sadar subdivision, India
Habra II is an administrative block in North 24 Parganas district serving a rural region with multiple villages and hamlets. The area is characterized by agricultural land, scattered settlements, and basic infrastructure connecting the villages to local towns.
The region underwent administrative reorganization in the 1800s when it was incorporated into the 24 Parganas district. This change brought together areas that had belonged to different administrative territories before.
The population of 176,490 residents includes both Hindu and Muslim communities, who primarily communicate in Bengali and English throughout the region.
Most villages have electricity and clean water available to residents and visitors. A railway station and local bus services provide transportation options for getting around and reaching nearby towns.
The block is divided into eight separate panchayat administrative units, each with its own local governance structure. This decentralized system allows communities to manage their own affairs and development priorities.
