Assembly panel visits Alipore zoo

KOLKATA: A 10-member Vidhan Sabha Estimates Committee, comprising Trinamool and BJP MLAs, visited Alipore zoo on Monday to take stock of steps the zoo has taken to keep the animals comfortable in this heat.

The team also checked the enclosures and quality of food given to the animals, and will submit a report to speaker Biman Bandyopadhyay, along with their suggestions and takeaways.

TOI on Saturday reported that the zoo has taken “summer care” steps to keep the residents cool.
