Had a refreshing feeling as I visited the @assamzoo, having glimpses of the animals &birds from close proximity. Took stock of the Zoo's condition in its entire stretch & decided that our Govt will transform it into one of the most attractive tourist destinations of the region. pic.twitter.com/izjhPaIOFV
