In a setback to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav's dream project, a lioness who was ill today died at the Lion Safari here, which has seen eight other big cats perish since 2014.
"Lioness Grishma was brought to the Lion Safari on September 14, 2014 from Gujarat. She was ill since July 3 and died today," Director, Lion Safari, Sanajay Srivastav said.
The Lion Safari has seen three adult lionesses, Grishma, Lakshmi and Tapasya, and a lion, along with five tiger cubs perish since 2014.
The safari now has three lions and three lionesses.
Taking serious note of Tapasya's death in Januray this year, Akhilesh had removed Chief Forest Conservator S K Upadhyaya.
