dated September 22, 1958: Royal visitors

Lions from the Gir forest continue to visit the vicinity of Junagadh town during the nights to escape harassment from the mosquitoes that infest the thicks of the royal abodes, says a Rajkot message.

According to reports one lion and his mate are known to have been visiting the precincts of the Collector’s bungalow to have “a change of air”.
