The CM’s deep affection for the Gorakhpur Zoo is well-known. Whenever he has the opportunity, he visits the zoo to observe the wildlife and gather information about their care.
Near the lion’s enclosure, the CM planted a Harishankari sapling, promoting a message of environmental conservation and also viewed the oil paintings there.
During his visit, he reached the enclosure of the rhino pair, ‘Hari’ and ‘Gauri’ and fed them with his own hands.
He also visited the enclosure of the Himalayan bear ‘Billu’ and personally fed him ice cream and honey. He also named a tiger ‘Shakti’ which was rescued from the forests of Lakhimpur.
During his zoo visit, the Chief Minister interacted with children from Vantangiya Basti and Purv Madhyamik Vidhyalaya Jungle Tikonia Number 3.
