Zoo director Subhankar Sengupta assured that the animals have been securely placed in their respective shelters. “For animals such as deer, which stay in open spaces, the shelter doors have been left open to allow them the flexibility to seek refuge as needed,” he said. In preparation for a potential water shortage after the cyclone, all overhead water tanks have been filled to capacity.
Sengupta also mentioned that the zoo would remain open to visitors on Friday. “Our security personnel, animal attendants, garden attendants, and vets are engaged in monitoring and stand ready to tackle any emergency that may arise,” he added.
