Summary:
Coimbatore: The VOC Zoological Park, which once bustled with activity, seems to have lost its sheen among the public today. According to a zookeeper, at least 10 cages in the zoo are empty.“Visitors are declining as the park has nothing new to offer them. “VOC is the only zoo that is taken care of by a corporation in South India. It’s a major drawback,” she said.Another section of people said the park was ‘taken over’ by young couples and that they couldn’t bring their children with them. And the park is almost empty- not only has the footfall come down, but the number of animal and bird species on display has also dropped..
