Hridaypur is a locality in the municipal area of Barasat in the state of West Bengal, India. Hridaypur is also a railway station in Bongaon-Sealdah line, a part of the Kolkata Suburban Railway system, located 21 kilometres (13 mi) from Sealdah Station[1] of Kolkata.
The rail-line bisects the area in 2 zones:
