Around 259,719 people live in Gaighat, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Sunrise today lands at 05:23 and sunset at 06:17 local time, giving 12h 54m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (26.14, 85.66) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Gaighat.
