Nagpur: The ongoing celebration season and holidays for children have caused an increase in visitors at Gorewada Zoo Safari, forcing the authorities to bind private buses to handle the burden.
Saturday and Sunday, at least two personal buses will join the existing fleet owned by Gorewada to transport people in the safari zone.
Divisional Manager of Panchbhai Pramod, which oversees the International Zoology Park of Balasahebh Thackeray, said, “I am currently on leave, so it can’t tell you a tourist burden for today, but yes based on the trial we have a personal bus only for the end of the week.
We have a fleet Five existing buses, which include canter.
While our bus has a capacity of 38 each, on weekends, there is a sharp increase in the number of visitors.
“A employee at the zoo, who did not want to be identified, confirmed that the weekend was indeed busy .
“We roll back visitors, it’s busy.
This might be done with a Diwali vacation because many people will have relatives who visit them.
So the best place to go with family is of course safari.
Today, we have a large bus and Temo travelers who accommodate around 15 -20 people brought through private contractors, “said the employee.
Officials said the increase in the number of visitors at Gorewada did not violate any rules of ‘carrying capacity’.
Panchbhai said, “This is a zoo.
So, unlike TATR or PENH, we don’t have a hat at visitors.
Our infrastructure is more than well equipped to handle about a thousand visitors per day.” However, some employees did cause safety problems with personal buses .
“These buses have windows that can be opened, and it is not safe in the carnivore section.
Tempo traveler is like a mini bus, so the windows are more accessible to animals.
Our fear is that some vibrant visitors can open windows for better photos and photos Raken the risk of his life, “said the employee.
Panchbhai said that while the worries were original, it would not be a factor in Gorewada.
“Each bus has a guide, so visitors are monitored.
Our staff will ensure complete compliance with all security norms before Safari begins,” Panchbhai said.
