Delhi Zoo's Injured White Tigress to Remain; Sibling Sent to Patna Zoo Instead

A white tigress named Durga at Delhi's National Zoological Park fractured her leg on March 2 and will not be sent to Patna Zoo as planned; her sibling Devi will be transferred instead. Zoo director Sanveej Kumar denied negligence allegations. Durga is receiving veterinary care. The zoo also reported the sudden death of a Nilgai, with investigations ongoing. Previous concerns about animal welfare, including a jackal's death and the passing of the zoo's African elephant, have been addressed by officials.
