the
Ramnabagan
Wildlife
Sanctuary
spread
over
an
area
of
14.31
hectares
is
in

in Burdwan.
This

patch
is
under
the
control
of
Divisional
Forest
Officer,

The

the
area
had
been
converted
to
a

with
the
introduction
of
six
spotted
deer.
Subsequently,
the
whole
area
has
been
declared
a
wildlife
sanctuary.
Later
on,
subsequently
a
mini
Zoo
was
approved
by Central
Zoo
Authority within
the
Wildlife
Sanctuary
area.
This
Zoo
has
been
renamed
as
Bardhaman
Zoological
Park
and
it
has

Ramnabagan
forest,
with
its
tall
and
stately teak and sal forest
having
mesophytic
associates
like
kadbels
(Limonia
acidissima),
dumur
(Ficus
racemosa),
jam
(Syzygium
cumini),
etc.,
is
a
solace
from
the
din
and
bustle
of
urban
life.
The
area
is
in
the
municipal
limits
of
Burdwan
town
and
is
about
3
km

is
about
4
km
from
G.T.
Road
(N.H.2)
on

stretch
of
Durgapur
Expressway.
It
is
well
connected
with
G.T
Road
by
Sukumar
Sen
Road
that
meets
G.T
Road
at
Golapbag
crossing.
There
is
a
good
network
of
approach
roads
all
along
the
periphery
of
the
zoo.
Burdwan
is
well
connected
with
all
the
major
junctions
of Eastern
Railway. Local
trains
ply
between
Howrah
and
Burdwan
at
regular
intervals.
One
can
also
avail
buses
which
run
frequently
from
all
the
major
bus
terminals
at
Kolkata.
