Morning walkers attached to Maharajbag Sangharsha Samiti, Maharajbag Prabhat Mitra Mandal and Shri Aarogya Aasan Mandal staged demonstrations at Maharajbag main gate on Monday morning to press their demand for allowing them to undertake morning walk and exercise in zoo premises.
The management of Maharajbag zoo closed down the morning walk inside the premises from April 9, following directives by Central Zoo Authority and provisions in Wildlife Protection Act, 1972. Later, it has made alternate arrangement for morning walkers away from wildlife enclosures and appealed to people to use this path for the purpose till 8.30 am.
Meanwhile, the management had also sought cooperation from Sitabuldi Police Station to maintain law & order situation in view of today’s agitation, which it termed as ‘illegal’
