Calcutta, Feb. 26 :    Calcutta, Feb. 26:  After carrying passengers for 60 years between Park Circus and Gariahat and areas connected to the two points, trams will make an exit from this stretch forever. The Hooghly River Bridge Commissioners (HRBC), executing the Gariahat flyover project, said on Tuesday that it had decided against resuming the suspended tram operations either on or below the upcoming flyover. However, earlier, it had planned to restore the service after commissioning the flyover. A.K. Pal, vice-chairman of HRBC, also said on Tuesday that it had rejected the Calcutta civic authorities' proposal to lay tram tracks along Swinhoe Street and Cornfield Road, connecting the Ballygunge turn-around and the Gariahat depot as an alternative to the Gariahat Road route. The HRBC has decided to reject the Calcutta Municipal Corporation (CMC)'s proposal on much the same grounds as it had accepted mayor Subrata Mukherjee's suggestion to stop plying trams on Gariahat Road. 'We have decided not to restore the link up to Ballygunge as the CMC urged the government to terminate tram services along Gariahat Road. Tram service along Rashbehari Avenue will be controlled from the Kalighat depot instead of the Gariahat depot', said HRBC vice-chairman A.K. Pal. Tram services on the two routes (nos. 25 and 26), which used to carry 30,000 passengers daily, were temporarily suspended seven months ago to facilitate the construction of the Gariahat flyover. Forty metres of tram tracks between Gariahat junction and Gariahat tram depot were within the flyover construction zone. Whereas route no. 25 used to connect the Ballygunge and Kasba areas with Esplanade via Gariahat Road-Park Street-Royd Street, Rafi Ahmed Kidwai Road and Lenin Sarani; route no. 26 provided a direct link-up to Rabindra Setu (Howrah bridge) and Burrabazar, and Sealdah via Gariahat Road-Park Street- AJC Bose Road and MG Road. Recently, the HRBC notified the Calcutta Tramways Company that it would not restore the missing link between Gariahat crossing and the Gariahat depot. Mayor Mukherjee has come down heavily on trams, ascribing all of Calcutta's traffic problems to these vehicles on tracks.
