Bow Barracks is a locality in the central Kolkata region. It is a small hub of mainly Anglo-Indian people who have lived there for generations.[1] The families currently living there do not pay any rent for their stay as the building is owned by the KIT and have refused to accept a meagre amount of ₹30 paid as rent throughout the years without any increment in rent by the families for their stay.[2]
