After a lockdown of 105 days, the Nandanvan Jungle Safari in Nava Raipur reopened on Wednesday but with strict rules owing to the Covid-19 pandemic, drawing 43 people on the first day.
The Chhattisgarh Forest Department has provided an opportunity to all those battling stress due to the Covid crisis.
It has prohibited visitors above 65 years and children below 10 years, owing to fears of Covid infection.
Visitors have to pass through a thermal imaging and sanitization tunnel and strictly follow the rules framed by the Central Zoo Authority , said Vinod Thakur, Assistant Director, Nandanvan Jungle Safari.
Before the opening, a mock drill was carried out by the officers of Jungle Safar.
