Dr.
Sanjay Tripathi, director of Rani Baug said, “Presently, the entry fee is too less; it’s ?3 for children and ?5 for adults. Rani Baug is a public garden, and everyone should be welcome.” The group has got 267 signatures in their campaign so far. The civic body has proposed to increase the entry fee to the Veermata Jijabai Bhosale Udyan (also known as Byculla zoo) or Rani Baug from ?5 to ?100 per adult, and ?2 to ?25 for children aged between 3 and 12. more-inMumbai: The Save Rani Baug Botanical Garden Foundation, a citizens group, has started an online signature campaign to stall a 20-fold increase in the entry fee to the garden in Byculla, after their demands were reportedly ignored by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) commissioner Ajoy Mehta. When they wanted to bring penguins, we did not interfere, but now they want to hike the entry fee to bring more exotic animals at an exorbitant cost, which is worthless..
