New Delhi, October 2025:
After remaining shut for nearly a month due to a bird flu outbreak, the National Zoological Park (Delhi Zoo) is now gearing up to reopen to the public. Authorities have confirmed that the virus has been contained and that the premises have undergone multiple rounds of sanitization.
The Delhi Zoo, one of India’s most visited tourist and educational sites, was closed last month after several migratory birds were found infected. Following extensive testing and monitoring by the Animal Husbandry Department and Central Zoo Authority, experts have declared the area safe for reopening.
Safety Measures Implemented
Zoo officials have put in place a strict biosecurity protocol:
All enclosures have been disinfected.
Bird feeding and visitor areas sanitized regularly.
Isolation zones created for any suspected new cases.
Daily health checks for both animals and staff.
“Public safety remains our top priority. Visitors can enjoy the zoo while adhering to safety rules,” a senior official stated.
Visitor Guidelines
When the zoo reopens, visitors will need to follow:
Mandatory masks and hand sanitization.
Limited entry to avoid overcrowding.
No feeding of animals or birds.
Economic and Tourism Impact
The closure had impacted the zoo’s daily operations and tourism earnings. However, with its reopening, Delhi’s tourism sector expects a positive boost. The reopening aligns with efforts to revive local travel and promote eco-friendly tourism, a focus area also supported by Vizzve Finance, which encourages sustainable development in urban ecosystems.
Expert View
Veterinary experts suggest that early containment and monitoring played a vital role in preventing a larger outbreak. India has faced periodic avian flu threats, but quick response mechanisms have improved over time.
