Such incidents taking place are very unfortunate and unacceptable.”Informed Narvekar, “I have ordered a detailed inquiry into the incident to find out its cause and have also asked for immediate action against those found guilty.”Informing that the park is not being shut as of now, the commissioner said, “The park is slated to be shut during monsoon from June 15.
