- Shakuntala_Park abstract "Shakuntala Park (Bengali: শকুন্তলা পার্ক) is a neighbourhood/ locality and a township in South West Kolkata which lies in the greater Behala region. Shakuntala Park (prime significance as Shakuntala Park Housing Estate) is a satellite township. It is in South West Kolkata, part of the greater Behala region.It is reachable through Behala Chowrasta or through Budge Budge Trunk Road (from Taratala crossing) and Dakghar / Maheshtala of South 24 Parganas. It is starting just two kilometers from Behala Chowrasta and extended up to nearly four kilometers till Oxytown / Shibrampur. It is a predominantly Bengali neighborhood, but many South Indians, Goans, Biharis and Oriyas also reside in the area. It is bordered by Shakuntala Park area (Patton Tank Factory) in the east and Kethopole to the west. The main road is Biren Roy Road (West) renamed Ho-Chi-Minh Sarani.The area was extremely rural prior to the 1972 Bangladesh war. During the war the Indian government dumped scores of refugees from Bangladesh in this underdeveloped locality close to Kolkata. These refugees are now legalized Indian citizens and form the bulk of the population in the region.The West Bengal government's Housing Developments Authority, West Bengal Housing Board developed the township for residential projects, selling vacant plots (2K and 3K series), pre-constructed houses (H2, H1, M1, L and E schemes) and 4 storied apartments. The township is divided into 5 zones/ sectors.The area was under the jurisdiction of Thakurpukur Police Station and partly under Parnashree Police Station, which are a part of the South Zone of the Kolkata Police Department. There was a Police Outpost situated inside the township beside Mother Dairy booth, Shakuntala Park unit. On February 25, 2014 this outpost was converted into Sarsuna Police Station and the area which was under Thakurpukur PS comes under the jurisdiction of this new police station. Remaining area is under Parnashree PS as it was.There are three lakes (Lake No. 1, 2, and 3 respectively) located within half a kilometer of the township. Lake 1 is beautified and maintained by Kolkata Corporation. Beautification of Lake 2 & 3 is in the pipeline. This is the center of attraction of the locality for its serene and natural ambience. Apart from the casual visitors countless morning and evening walkers visit this place daily to rejuvenate. It is also a coveted fishing spot. During 'Chat Puja' the Biharis assemble here in scores to offer puja, in a year. There are many clubs and associations in the area (six co-operative societies and their clubs), which organise celebrations for Durga Puja, the main Bengali festival, Kali Puja and all other pujas in their respective puja grounds in different areas of the township. The entire Shakuntala Park Housing area is now a place of growing interest for shooting of different films and TV serials.There is a big playground beside Lake1 named Central Park under joint supervision of all cooperative societies of the township. A swimming pool is also situated beside Lake1 in the Central Park. On the southern end of the township there are two colleges, Sarsuna College, Law College and a Supermarket.The Life Insurance Corporation of India has constructed their Zonal Training Institute, Jeevan Vidya, here. Many L.I.C. employees from across India go there to train, and stay at the L.I.C. Hostel adjacent to the training institute.There are two local milk bars, Mother Dairy and Metro Dairy.The neighbourhood faces waterlogging and sewerage problems during the rains. Another major problem is KMC Water Supply system.Shakuntala Park, KMC Ward No 127 & 128, PS - Parnashree / Sarsuna, PO - Sarsoona, Main thoroughfare: Biren Roy Road (West) or Ho-Chi-Minh Sarani.Buses running through Shakuntala Park:12C/1 = Oxytown to Howrah Station.
