Surat, 11 February 2014
12 whale sharks on way to Surat for ambitious aquarium project here died in a container on Mumbai-Surat highway. The authority claims whale shark died due to traffic jam on highway.
A consignment of whale shark had arrived at Chennai from Singapore. They were shifted to Mumbai safely, but couldn’t be brought safely to Surat by road. Contractor who was assigned the task will bear the expenses.
It has to be noted that Gujarat Chief Minister is likely to inaugurate new aquarium developed by Surat Municipal Corporation(SMC) on February 14.
The SMC will take extra care while ordering next set of whale sharks for aquarium project.
