Bus breaks down at Bengal Safari Park

Darjeeling: A technical snag resulted in a vehicle being stranded inside the Tiger Safari of the Bengal Safari Park in Siliguri.

The incident occurred on Wednesday. According to Dharamdeo Rai, director of the park, around 22 visitors were in the bus. They had visited the Tiger Safari and on the way back, the vehicle broke down near the exit.
