Pune Zoo Criticized for Poor Visitor Experience

Imagine you go to the zoo, but you can't pay with your phone or card – only cash!

Then, the bathrooms are dirty, and the special electric bus isn't running because the staff are using it.

Visitors are not happy with the Rajiv Gandhi Zoological Park in Pune.

People are complaining about these issues to the city, especially the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) who runs the zoo.

PMC is aware of the problems and are planning to make improvements, like fixing the bathrooms, fixing the payment system, and fixing the electric bus.

The zoo also has important jobs that need to be filled, like a curator.

The PMC chief visited to review planned improvements, indicating a desire to enhance visitor experiences.

The zoo has a lot of land, and they hope to add more animals.

There were some issues with animal care, as there were some issues around the deaths of some deer.
