The Puthur zoological park, one of the largest in Asia, will be opened for the public by the beginning of the next year, Forest Minister A.K. Saseendran and Revenue Minister K. Rajan, who visited the park on Thursday, said.
More animals and birds would be brought to the zoological park by July, the Forest Minister, who reviewed the work there, said.
“We are planning to bring animals from outside the country. Discussions are being done with the Zoo Authority of India in this regard,” the Minister said.
