State BJP Vice-President B.Y. Vijayendra on Wednesday promised to get financial aid to the crisis-hit zoos in the State and said he would take up the issue with Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa if the Zoo Authority of Karnataka (ZAK) come with a delegation to Bengaluru. Speaking after distributing food-kits to the staff members of Mysuru zoo at a function organised by My Seva Foundation, he said the zoos, including Mysuru zoo, are facing financial crisis with tourism badly hit by the pandemic. The sharp drop in footfall because of the pandemic since last year has hit the zoos’ revenue. However, the support extended by the public and animal lovers to the zoos in the form of adopting animals and making donations is commendable.More Related News
