Hyderabad, June 5

The Nehru Zoological Park in Hyderabad ushered in extra cheer on World Environment Day on Saturday with the good news of the recent births of a one-horned rhinoceros and a gaur (Indian bison).

Officials said that the male gaur calf was born on June 2, coinciding with the Telangana state formation day anniversary. It has been named ‘Komaram Bheem’ in honour of the Telangana hero.

The one-horned rhino calf, which was born a fortnight ago, has been named ‘Nanda’.

Speaking on the occasion, R Sobha, Principal Chief Conservator of Forests, Telangana, said “The Nehru Zoological park in Hyderabad is in the forefront of conservation and breeding of wild animals, and the births of mega herbivores are worth cheers in the otherwise gloomy pandemic scenario.” –IANS

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).
