Minister Takes Stock Of Delhi Zoo's Condition

Ramesh was at the zoo to take stock of the measures taken after over two-dozen black bucks died in September due to contaminated water. The contamination occurred after a blocked drain towards Yamuna led to backflow of storm water that mixed with overflowing faulty sewage. This was the minister's second visit to the zoo since the incident.

During his visit, the minister inspected the progress of the repairs that various agencies promised at a meeting held soon after the black bucks' death. At Monday's meeting Ramesh met Central Zoo Authority member-secretary, BS Bonal, zoo director AK Agnihotri, along with officials from civic agencies. Read the full report here.
