The big stop [1]

After a recent order by the Union Government forbade displaying animals in circuses, elephants at the Calcutta Zoo as well as at the 15-odd circuses that visit the city have been asked to migrate. The Government says that the enclosures are too small for the big animals. "We have been playing to full galleries for decades," says a manager of a circus.
