Mysore/Mysuru: The 6,000-square-foot aquarium structure, half-built by the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC), was handed over to the Mysuru Zoo in 2018 for refurbishing and maintenance.
It was initially constructed 14 years ago at a cost of Rs. 4.26 crore and the MCC washed its hands off as building an aquarium would require minimum funds of Rs. 30 to Rs. 40 crore. In July 2018, there was a public outcry over the waste of public tax money, leading to the aquarium building being handed over to the Zoo on July 14.
