Shiv Sena founder Balasaheb Thackeray will get immortalised in RSS’s homeland on January 26 as his son Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray will inaugurate Nagpur’s Gorewada International Zoological Park named after his father.
The park has been one of the most awaited projects of Nagpur since the beginning of its development in 2005. Managing Director of Forest Development Corporation of Maharashtra N Vasudevan said, This is one of the largest zoological parks in India spread over an area of over 564 hectares. If the Gorewada Rescue Centre and the Gorewada Reserve are included, the total area of the park is 1,914 hectares,
