The Government is reported to be toying with the excited plan of setting up two zoos, one each for Jammu and Srinagar. Normally, we are happy to know that there will be a major scheme of providing entertainment to the citizens of two capital cities especially to the children who will also find something big to rejoice about. We know that some wild life species will find their way into the contemplated zoos and this will be a prestigious addition to the zoological fund of India.
However our major concern is that of maintaining the standards of keeping the zoo animals in perfect health by providing them the food, medical aid and proper environment. Maintaining a zoo is a stupendous task about which everybody is not aware of. It asks for huge budget and manpower and large paraphernalia. Has the Government taken care of all these pre-requisites? Above all the land for sanctuaries is a big matter. Will the identified sanctuaries remain fully secure and finally what about the trained staff to handle the wild life? Have we all the paraphernalia at hand?
