Two months after opposition corporators sent a proposal on the upkeep of penguins to the drawing table citing high cost, the civic administration will put it up to the standing committee on Wednesday without any change.

In September, the Opposition had slammed the Shiv Sena-ruled BMC for a proposal for a tender at an estimated Rs 15.26 crore for the maintenance of the seven adult penguins at the Byculla zoo for 36 months. BJP and Congress corporators had said that there was no need to spend so much on the flightless birds.
