New Delhi: The Delhi zoo reopened for visitors on Tuesday after remaining closed for around two months in view of a spike in coronavirus cases in the capital, officials said on Tuesday.
The zoo was closed for the public on January 4, and the online ticket booking link on its website was disabled.
An official said the link was reactivated Monday night, and all 4,000 tickets were sold by 8:30 am when the zoo reopened.
“The ticket counters outside the zoo have already been closed. So, people are requested to book tickets online only two to three days in advance to avoid inconvenience,” he said.
Only 4,000 visitors are allowed in the zoo in a day in two slots — 8:30 am to 12:30 pm and 12:30 pm to 4:30 pm.
The administration has directed all section supervisors to ensure strict compliance to Covid-appropriate behaviour as the zoo reopens.
