The Indira Gandhi Zoological Park (IGZP) in Visakhapatnam mourns the loss of a 10-year-old female giraffe named May, who passed away on Wednesday due to illness. May, brought from the Negara Zoo in Malaysia in 2013, had been undergoing treatment for chronic metritis and pneumonia for the past three months. Despite efforts from wildlife experts, her condition worsened, leading to her unfortunate demise. The recent loss adds to the zoo's recent deaths of a zebra and a white tiger, casting a somber mood over the facility.
Visakha Crime Police, led by DCP (Crime) G. Naganna, have successfully busted a chain theft ring in Vizag, apprehending ten suspects, including a father-son duo involved in multiple thefts. A total of 31 tolas of gold ornaments were recovered in connection with eleven chain theft cases across the city.
