Limit dividers have been given on three sides, and fencing
on one side of the zoo so as to keep the passage of stray dairy cattle and wild
deer from outside the zoo. The new walled in areas have been given set up of
the old nooks which were excessively confined for the creatures. A unified park
with garden, guests' resting sheds and youngsters' play zone have been shaped
inside the zoo. A guests' pathway is being framed in such a route as not to
fell existing trees keeping in mind the end goal to save the regular habitat.

fledglings. Drinking water offices have been accommodated the guests.
