The pre historic conveyance system was built on the
basis of water flow. We have realised the river Damodar and her branches through
out Kalna used to establish link among several villages and places.
Through several flow the communication and link among various interior gangs
like Nandan Ghat, Manteswar were well kept. Still S.D.O. office of Kalna sub
division exists just beside the river. The distance villages Faleya, Nimdaha,
Nadanghat, Mahmudpur, Bagnapara are still depending on the naval way.
after setting on railways conveyance, two water conveyance associations: i)
Steam navagation company ii) Horemiller company found themselves busy for the
transportation of people and goods. Starting from Hatkhola of Kolkata, Naval
transportation was practiced to reach Kalna via Uttarpara, Sreerampur,
Sheorafuli, Nababganj, Bhadreshwar, Chandannagar, Bhatpara, Chinsura, Hooghly,
Bansbaria, Tribani, Kaliganj, Jirat, Somra, Shantipur, Guptipara etc.
two roadways Kalna was certainly linked with the administrative centres –
Saptagram, Pandua, Nabadwip. To meet up the curiosity about roadway linking with
other administrative centres, we can collect from two maps, no 1. Von-Den-brook
in 1660 and Rennel’s map in the year 1779. Dain-Brook’s map indicated two roads
which are too important in the background of present age.
Saptagram to Gour through the west bank of the Ganges.
From Kalna to Burdwan. Besides those mentioned
river-ways, there leads many roads as:
From Baramura to Sasaram via Hooghly, Pandua, Memari, Burdwan, Ukhura,
From Dhanekhali to Golaganj, via Hazipur Krishnabati, Boinchi etc.
Up to Shankhai via Hooghly, Nayasarai, Inchura, Samudragarh etc.
From Samudragarh to Katwa via Sribati.
From Kalna to Puti via Dhanekhali, Chandipur etc.
Present leading roadways:

Kalna – Chupi via Dhatrigram, Samudragarh etc.
Of late Kalna has started S.B.S.T.C.
Government bus service and some Auto and some other privet vehicle service.
Necessity of Railways was sensed from the year 1845.
Essential lands were acquired and surveyed under the supervision of Mr. A. H.
Boiler by the year 1905. In the year 1911,
service was set on. On 18th April 1914 a passenger steam engine Train
was set on in service from Hooghly to Nabadwip. During the period (1832 – 1983)
diesel engine was put to service, and almost all the Trains were converted into
Diesel Engine in the year 1990 – 1991.
After hard efforts of the then M.P. Saifuddin Choudhury and
incessant movement of daily passengers’ association, the Rail authority was
subjected to take a decision of Electrification of Train. And at present many
electric coach run up and down every day like Katwa to Bandel, Katwa to
Sealdeh, Katwa to Howrah, Howrah to Katwa, Bandel to Katwa, Sealaeh to Katwa,
Bandel to Nabadwip
