[4] With the partition of Bengal in 1947, "millions of refugees poured in from erstwhile East Pakistan.

Squatting (jabardakhal in Bengali) ranged from the forcible occupation of barracks to the collective take-over of private, government and waste land.

The squatters were in a way “self-settlers” in the absence of adequate official arrangements for rehabilitation.

Within a very short time the refugees (quite often with government/ administrative support) not only found a place to stay but developed a society with markets, schools, temples and sometimes even colleges, hospitals and recreational centres.

Localities such as Nimta, Birati, Durganagar and Bisharpara are neighbourhoods in the North Dumdum Municipal area.
