Named after noted Rabindra Sangeet exponent Kanika Bandopadhyay, the
park ~ situated opposite Rabindra Sadan ~ was handed over to Bengal
Shelter by the erstwhile Left Front-controlled civic board.
Interestingly, no tender was floated as those running the firm were
close to the then chief minister Mr Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee and the then
mayor Mr Bikas Bhattacharya. 

The firm set up an open air platform where cultural shows are regularly
held. But over the past few years the firm has not maintained the area
properly. Senior civic officials said tenders would be floated to select
a firm to look after Mohor Kunja.
