The Alipore zoo is closed to visitors because of the Covid pandemic. But animal lovers can now get a peek into the enclosures every day. The zoo authorities have started to upload live feed of the animal enclosures on Facebook. The feed is based on footage from the CCTV cameras inside the enclosures.

The facility was launched on Sunday (in picture).

“We will have two sessions every day — from 9am to 10am, and from 3pm to 4pm. Each session will show an enclosure,” said a zoo official. On Day 1, the feed from the chimpanzee enclosure was shared. The service was inaugurated by forest minister Rajib Banerjee, who also felicitated the keepers and vets of the zoo for their role during the pandemic.
