Forest department has planned to start a wild animal orphanage and treatment center in a 22-acre plot located at Bavdhan. This center will be a center for animals rescued from Pune district and adjoining areas, Similarly, because of this center Bavdhan will get a different identity.
Forest Officer Pradeep Sapkal said, “The current space is insufficient for wild animals getting treatment from Pune, Pimpri Chinchwad city and district along with different districts in west Maharashtra. The work for the hospital for animals is 50% complete. This treatment center situated on the border of Kothrud- Bavdhan, close to the National Defence Academy is about to start within this year. Peacocks, Deer get injured by stray dogs and to treat such injured wild animals trained staff will be available at this treatment center.”
