Cooch Behar: As the winter season sets in, the Rasik Bill Mini Zoo in Tufanganj, a popular tourist destination in Cooch Behar district, is seeing a surge in visitors. To ensure the safety and smooth management of the influx of tourists, Cooch Behar District Superintendent of Police Dyutiman Bhattacharya conducted an inspection of the zoo’s security arrangements on Sunday.

Accompanied by officers from Boxirhat Police Station, Dyutiman Bhattacharya reviewed various aspects of the zoo’s operations, including crowd control and overall safety measures. The Rasik Bill Mini Zoo, which features a variety of birds, a lake and wildlife, including leopards, deer and crocodiles, attracts large crowds, especially from December 25 to January 1. Visitors come not only from Cooch Behar and Alipurduar districts but also from neighbouring Assam.
