The city will have to do without the V.O.C. Park Zoo as the Coimbatore Corporation will soon close it down. The Corporation’s decision to close down the zoo with around 530 animals, birds and reptiles follows it losing an appeal with the Central Zoo Authority and the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, say sources.
In the process, the Corporation will also lose the status of being one among the very few urban local bodies that runs a zoo.

The draft policy for “Responsible Digital Use Among Students”, released on Monday by the Department of Health and Family Welfare, has recommended that parents set structured routines with clear screen-time rules and prioritise privacy, safety, and open conversation with children on digital well-being.
