Night safari in Noida soon
Greater Noida will be the fourth in the world to introduce the concept of 'zoo by night'.
A total of 150 acres of degraded forest land in Greater Noida has been earmarked for the project,the detailed report of which will be submitted within three-months.
A former director of the Singapore Zoo,who had served the organisation for 30 years,Harrison has been instrumental in setting up the night safaris of Singapore and China.
A night safari,which in layman's language means a 'zoo by night',allows visitors to watch animals in enclosures during the late evening hours till midnight.
The visitors are taken on a battery-operated special noiseless,pollution-free and a no-headlights train around the enclosures,which are lit up through specialised lights giving the impression of moonlit night.
The lights are so managed that the visitors get the impression that they are watching the animals in natural surroundings with no fencing etc. The safari is supplemented by associated activities like good food courts,healthy recreational activities and good entertainment.
This is done particularly as the animal watching hours are between 7 pm and midnight. The safari does not operate during the day-time. Speaking to TOI,chairman,Greater Noida and Noida,Rakesh Bahadur said the "night safari was especially suited for India keeping in view the climatic conditions here.
The night zoo will be a good attraction more so as it is taking shape in a region close to Delhi." Bahadur,who,along with the chief wildlife warden UP,Mohammad Ahsan and a couple of other officers returned on September 20,following an on-the-spot study of the safaris in Singapore and China,said "once the detailed project report comes through the permission of the Central Zoo Authority will be sought.
Work will then commence on the same." Queried if there would be any private participation,Bahadur said,"It is still being examined. We might invite private participation for some aspects of the night zoo".
