Geography
Bhadreswar Municipality covers an area of 8.28 km2 and has a total population of 101,477 (2011).[2]
In 1981, 29.61% of the total population formed main workers and 70.30% were non-workers in Bhadreswar Municipality and 76.75% of the total main workers were industrial workers. This may be interpreted as follows: although industrial activities are prominent in the municipal areas of the region, the major portion of the population is commuters and migrants find employment in the area.[3]
