Ice cream and animals don't go together, Byculla zoo authorities have known for nearly a year and, yet, done nothing about it. Last year, after the Central Zoo Authority officials visited the Veermata Jijabai Bhosale Udyan and Zoo, local staff had assured them that the ice-cream stalls close to animal enclosures would be relocated to ensure animals are not disturbed.

It's been over a year to that promise and nothing has changed on ground. What's worse, local zoo officials don't even have an alternate spot in mind for the relocation, which seems to suggest it's unlikely to happen anytime soon.
