The Veermata Jijabai Bhosale Botanical Garden and Zoo in Byculla will remain open on Wednesday, despite it being a public holiday for Ganesh Chaturthi. Instead, the zoo will be closed on Thursday.

Usually, the zoo is closed on Wednesdays as part of its weekly holiday. But as per an earlier BMC resolution, if a public holiday falls on a Wednesday, the zoo stays open that day and shuts the following day.

Therefore, this week, visitors will be able to visit the zoo on Wednesday, August 27, while it will remain shut on Thursday, August 28.
