Following recent eviction of encroachers along the peripheral wall of the Nagaland Zoological Park (NZP), State Forest Department has allowed construction of two-lane road between Thahekhu village to Seluophe village measuring 2000 metres x 20 ft bordering the Park to the Department of Road and Bridges. The attempt of the Forest Department to allot the land for construction of two-lane road within the periphery wall of the Zoological Park was to discourage recurrence of encroachment from unwanted elements.
