Bathinda, December 10

Bir Talab zoo in Bathinda will be opened to the public after a long gap of nine months on December 17. The zoo was closed as a precautionary measure in the wake of Covid spread in March.

Zoo officials said that they have been directed by the central zoo authority to open the zoo for public and preparations are in full swing for it.

Talking to The Tribune, Pawan Sridhar, Forest Range Officer, said, “After remaining closed for nine months due to the pandemic, the Bir Talab zoo will be opened from December 17. We have revised entry ticket rates slightly with Rs 20 for children and Rs 30 for adults.”

Sridhar added, “The zoo will be opened soon but we have to make sure that all visitors take precautionary measures.” — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
