Complaint Alleges Unauthorized Animal Slaughter at Delhi Zoo; Authorities Deny Claims
A wildlife activist has filed a complaint with the Prime Minister's Office alleging unauthorized animal slaughter inside Delhi's National Zoological Park since 2024 to supply meat for carnivores. The complaint also raises concerns about procurement, construction material records, ticketing, tree felling, and animal treatment. Zoo authorities and the Municipal Corporation of Delhi deny these claims, stating meat is procured through approved tenders and slaughtering does not occur on-site. The activist seeks an independent investigation and preservation of relevant records and CCTV footage.
