| July 29, 2010 | Zoo gears up for monsoon season in Bihar | | Patna: Authorities of the Sanjay Gandhi Botanical and Zoological Gardens in Patna , Bihar have started cleaning up the zoo enclosures to prevent insects from breeding during the monsoon season. The water collects in the animal enclosures during the rain, and pumps are being used to drain out
the collected water. Lime spray and blowgun fire are also being used to disinfect
the animal enclosures. "At present we are getting cleaned all the enclosures in
mud so that insects do not breed. From time to time we are spraying lime. Beside
this, in the night house where animals stay, that is being disinfected by blowgun
fire. Cleaning done by using turmeric is more frequent," said Abhay Kumar, Director
of the Sanjay Gandhi Botanical and Zoological Gardens. Visitors to the zoo have
appreciated the steps taken by the zoo authorities. "Administration has taken
good steps. Whatever insects are coming out, they are spraying medicine and it
is really creating good atmosphere," said Dinesh Kumar, a zoo visitor. Normally
during rainy season water gets collected which leads to breeding of mosquitoes
and spreading of infectious diseases. | |
