Hyderabad: Nehru Zoological Park (NZP) to launch night safari featuring nocturnal species; increase workforce by at least 30%
HYDERABAD: The Nehru Zoological Park (NZP), which already hosts five animal safaris, is gearing up to launch night safari. This move follows an April 4 directive from the Central Zoo Authority of India (CZAI), which lifted the earlier ban on night safaris in zoos.
"The plan is still in its preliminary stages. Organising a night safari is a big project that will take time and effort," NZP director Sunil S Hiremath told TOI.

The safari, expected to be operational within a year, will feature only nocturnal species such as owls, reptiles, wild cats, canids, civets, bats, and flightless birds, in line with the directive. While NZP already has the infrastructure to support the initiative, manpower remains a concern.
"I anticipate we will need to increase our workforce by at least 30%," Hiremath said. The night safari is likely to run between 6pm and 11pm daily, except Mondays. Entry fares will be higher than the standard Rs 100 ticket. However, zoo-goers who visit during the day will have the option of re-entry for the night safari.

Locals pool money, provide voluntary labour to build a road in Chatra
Chatra: Locals of a panchayat in Kunda block of the district have raised funds and provided voluntary labour to build a road which will connect their hamlet to district and block headquarters. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The 3 km road, which runs from Harul to Chitwari village under Baudhadih panchayat, was built by ploughing through the portion of a hill. In the absence of a pucca road, locals had to walk through undulating terrain which made their lives miserable, they said. Last week, they went on a fundraising drive. Every household in the village donated Rs 200-500 for the cause. "We took up spades to work the road. Our aim was to make it fit for walking. An earthmover was roped in to plough a portion of a hill. The road will benefit over 2,000 families who live in the area," Raghu Ganjhu, a local, said. Sixty men and women got down to work and paved the road within five days. "The work started on Monday and was completed on Friday," Raghu said. Nandkishore Ganjhu, another resident of Baudhadih panchayat, said, "Political parties and their candidates come and make promises before an election. Then, they forget. For items of daily use, we must travel to Kunda block by trekking through the fields and hilly terrain." Binod Saw, the mukhiya of Baudhadih panchayat, admitted that the absence of a pucca road was posing problems for the locals. "After learning about their problem, I got a road project passed through the gram sabha. But it was taking time. So, the locals built the road themselves by raising Rs 40,000. I will ensure that the road is paved soon," Saw said.
