The pond is adjacent to the platform no 4 of Barrackpore railway station. So, there are a little bit noise, but I did not feel it as any disturbance. But it is very hard to ignore the VALUABLE advice from the by passers.

@Gavin

Today I visited the pond and found that the fish are not taking the bait. One six anglers were there and there were no success that can be mentioned. We should wait for the rain. We are trying for next Sunday, but it might not be fruitful for the aforesaid reason.

Better do, I shall inform you about the Cutting store tank situated at Halisahar. A kind of heaven for the anglers. But we need to for a cloudy day as I can not take heat from the sun.

I had gone to Barrackpur for some work and decided to drop by the pond and see whats happening.. A few people were fishing and they had caught small rohus abt 700-800gms.. I think the rains would be a welcome relief.. But saw some decent size fish moving around..
It's a nice place to spend a day..

Abt the Halisahar tank, lets make a plan and we'll go down there.. Will like to check it out before fishing... How far is it from the station ?

I wish to sit at the Railway pond at Barrackpore on coming Sunday (13.7.2014). If you are interested, please inform me as soon as possible. Pass worth only Rs. 140. I can book it from the office.

Rregarding Cutting Store tank ........it will take only 20 mins to be there at Halisahar Cutting store tank by foot. Rickshaw fare is only Rs. 20. But I do not have any current update of bait taking at the pond. Any update?

Personally it is not possible for me to be there right now as I can not take the heat of the Sun. Also, remember, any spinning reel is not allowed there. Only traditional reels are allowed.

Waiting for the reply....

I think after one month i will go there. At cutting the way of the seats is under water now(most probably), few small fishes are left at charghat
