Somewhere in Kanpur....


Thirty-one endangered blackbucks have been found devoured by wild dogs in the city zoo.
Three security guards on the night duty have been suspended, they said. Kanpur zoo director K Praveen Rao said that during the morning inspection, officials saw wild dogs feeding on the remains of the blackbucks. The dogs were immediately driven away and two of them were shot dead by the guards.
Out of the 38 blackbucks inside the enclosure with barbed wires, only seven have survived, Rao said. Post-mortems have been conducted and an investigation team has been set up to probe how the dogs managed to enter the enclosure.
