BHUBANESWAR: Visitors to Nandankanan Zoo here had a harrowing time on Saturday after the bus carrying them got stuck in mud in the Lion Safari. The zoo authorities had sent another bus and brought back the visitors but before that they had to drive back two lions to their cage.
The entire exercise took about 30 minutes during which about 40 tourists were in a state of fright. Terming it as a minor incident, a Nandankanan official said the bus was moving through the regular route which is always followed inside the Lion Safari. “The incident occurred as the front wheel of the bus skidded off the road. Receiving information from the bus driver, we sent another bus and brought the visitors back,” he said.
