Banerjee also announced that a road in south Kolkata was also named after the eminent exponent of Tagore songs Suchitra Mitra.
"Manna De and Suchitra Mitra are legendary names in the world of music. As a mark of honour to them, we have named Jorabagan Street as Manna De Sarani and Garcha Road as Suchitra Mitra Sarani," the chief minister said in a facebook post today.
"We are proud of Manna da and Suchitra di - their golden voices and golden memories will always be with us", she said.
Mitra's rendition of Tagore's 'Amar Sonar Bangla Ami Tomai Bhalobasi' during the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971, won hearts of millions.
The versatile singer Manna Dey passed away in a Bengaluru hospital on October 24, 2013, at the age of 94.
