'''Prince Anwar Shah Road''' is a busy road of [[South Kolkata]]. It is named after Prince Gulam Mohammed Anwar Ali Shah, one of [[Tipu Sultan]]'s 12 sons.<br />

In the aftermath of the death of [[Tipu Sultan]], during the battle of [[Mysore]], the then British rulers threw all twelve sons of Tipu into prison at [[Vellore]]. Suspecting that they had powered an abortive rebellion in Vellore jail they were moved to another prison in [[Calcutta]] in 1807.<br />
<br />
The road starts from the [[Raja SC Mullick Road]] where the [[Jadavpur]] Police Station is located and is connected to [[Tollygunge]] on the west. It first runs to the left of South Kolkata neighbourhood [[Jodhpur Park]] before running through [[Lake Gardens]] and finally reaching [[Tollygunge]]. The [[South City Mall]] on Prince Anwar Shah Road, Calcutta’s first "destination mall", opened its shop floor in early July 2007.<br />
<br />
The [[South City]] mini-township is located on a {{convert|31.14|acre|m2|sing=on}} site on Prince Anwar Shah Road in the heart of South Kolkata, just opposite [[Jodhpur Park]]. It is minutes away from top city clubs like RCGC and [[Tollygunge Club]], hospitals such as AMRI and EEDF and a stone’s throw from the Metro stations at [[Tollygunge]] and [[Rabindra Sarobar]] and the connector to [[EM Bypass]] and Lake Gardens Rail Overbridge.<br />

The much-awaited Prince Anwar Shah Road connector (Kalikapur Road) to the [[Eastern Metropolitan Bypass]] was opened to the public on 1 March, 2007. Prince Anwar Shah Road is connected to Kalikapur Road with '''Jibanananda Setu''' (Selimpur Rail Overbridge).<ref>{{cite web|title=Jibanananda Setu|url=https://m.timesofindia.com/city/kolkata/extension-of-jibanananda-setu-closure-clogs-bypass-bound-roads-from-s-kol/amp_articleshow/70849140.cms}}</ref><br />
<br />
The two-lane road is a shorter alternative to the [[Rashbehari Avenue]] connector for motorists approaching the [[EM Bypass]] from the southern part of the city. This has improved access to the [[EM Bypass]] for the residents of Shahidnagar, Viveknagar, Selimpur etc. Officials of the [[KMDA]] claim that it takes less than six minutes to reach the Bypass from the crossing of Prince Anwar Shah Road and [[Raja SC Mullick Road]], which is a continuation of [[Gariahat Road]].<br />
