But with it closed, it has not been on our itinerary for long.”“Before the pandemic, my friends and I visited the zoo on Sundays to destress.
We now hope it opens soon with all the rules in place, so that we can plan another fun-filled visit,” says Keshav Bhatia, 19, of Dugri.
“It’s that time of the year when zoo makes summer arrangements for animals.
I am sure its officials are making all efforts to keep animals safe,” says Gurmeet Kaur, 40, of Model Town.
