Brief

This pond is a private property. This pond was dug in 1854 by Late Haji MD. Boduruddin or Votto Haji and his brother. The owner of this pond is very careful about this as its neat and clean. Every side of the pond is plastered well. Also they have kept a road at the every side of the pond, you can use that as your evening or morning walk.

According to the noticeboard, it is 930 ft. or 275 meter if you walk for one round at the pond’s perimeter. So, six round will make you one mile, and 4 round will make you around 1 kilometer. They are encouraging the people to walk for good health.

Finally, you can take a bath at the pond’s water. It will take only 2 taka per person for the bath. Local people take bath at the both ghat of the pond. There are a cool bridge at the proximity of the pond.
