Raniganj
Raniganj and Neamatpur sit in the same town cluster. An auto gets you to Chittaranjan Road. Walk-in every weekday is normal for Raniganj families — call first so the first hour is not a wait.
Raniganj belt
Raniganj families often say they did not want to walk into a centre “in their own town.” Neamatpur is close enough for the day, and far enough that the neighbour at the tea shop is a little less likely to be in the waiting area. That is a real reason people choose this door, and we do not mock it. Discretion is the work: no workplace call, no para call, no relative you did not bring.
What we hear from Raniganj is the coal-and-shop-town mix. Alcohol first. Ganja among younger men. Gutka and khaini that nobody books a centre for until the mouth or the money makes it impossible to ignore — we take that work too. Prescription tablets in older adults, usually brought in by a spouse. Cough syrup in younger men, still treated as “medicine” in the house until it is not. The day programme is built for this distance: 9 to 6, home at night, Tuesday and Friday family hour.
The route is an auto, about 15 km. NH-19 traffic slows things around Raniganj in the late afternoon; an earlier start is kinder. Pickup is available. Government registration S0003646 of 2018-2019. Hindi and Bengali at the desk. The first meeting is free. If a hospital detox is needed before anyone sits in group, we say that on the phone — stopping long-standing morning drinking at home can be dangerous.
Raniganj is also a rail stop. Families coming from further west sometimes change here. If you are meeting a relative off a train and coming on to the centre, call when the train is twenty minutes out. Someone can tell you whether to come straight in or wait until a counsellor is free.
