Number of visitors falls by 30% after Mumbai zoo fee hike
The number of visitors to Mumbai's Byculla zoo declined to 2,000 as opposed to an average of around 3,000 visitors after the entry fee was hiked on Tuesday. The fee was increased from â¹5 to â¹50 to discourage visitors "who caused a nuisance to genuine visitors". Notably, the zoo collected â¹50,000 more than the usual collections after the fee hike.
