New Delhi:
The Delhi High Court sought the Centre's response on a PIL seeking an order to shift the Delhi Zoo from its present location as animals are living under stress because of increasing traffic and pollution around it.
A division bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justice Sanjiv Khanna issued a notice to the Central Zoo Authority and sought its reply by May 11 on a PIL filed by Hargyan Singh Gahlot, a IIT post-graduate in environmental engineering and a final year law student.
Singh, in a petition, stated the zoo should be shifted from its present location to the outskirts of the capital as its present location is like a "death trap" for them.
Suggesting to the bench shifting of the zoo from Mathura Road near the Delhi High Court to Dhausa border or Auchandi border so that the animals can have a conducive atmosphere, Singh sought an order for upgradation of animal holding areas and old infrastructures of the zoo.
