After two days, power finally restored at zoo

Electricity supply to the National Zoological Park, Delhi, was restored on Sunday evening — two days after a power outage hit the zoo due to a submerged transformer resulting from the “very heavy” rain on Friday morning, zoo officials said. The zoo, which houses 97 different animal species, faced a prolonged power outage after the incessant rain waterlogged large swathes of the city. Officials said that stormwater Delhi zoo director Sanjeet Kumar said that there was no waterlogging at present. “One additional power generator has been kept at the hospital complex to deal with animal-related emergencies and the animals are monitored are being on CCTVs, consistently,” said Kumar, adding that all pumps are ready and in working condition.
