Mysuru: The aquarium near Sri Chamarajendra Zoological Gardens (Mysuru Zoo), half-built by the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) has finally been handed over to the Zoo for refurbishing and maintenance. The aquarium structure, built at a cost of Rs. 4.26 crore, was lying in a state of neglect and had become a place for illegal activities.
The MCC has given a No Objection Certificate (NoC) to the Zoo to carry out further works on the aquarium. It may be recalled here that Tourism and Sericulture Minister S.R. Mahesh had recently directed the MCC to hand over the aquarium to the Zoo. The aquarium has been built in an area of 6,000 square feet.
