KARACHI: City Administrator Dr Syed Saif-ur-Rahman has said that instructions of Four Paws’ experts are being fully implemented for the treatment of ailing elephant Noor Jehan at Karachi Zoological Gardens.

The administrator paid a visit to the zoo and went to the enclosure of Noor Jehan and inspected her ongoing treatment.

He said that the condition of the elephant was getting better and it was hoped that the treatment and other measures prescribed for her recovery would yield positive results.

The administrator inquired from the zoo staff about the treatment of the elephant and the changes being made in her enclosure in the light of the instructions of the Four Paws’ team.

A zoo doctor and other staff concerned had been instructed to inform without a delay whatever was needed for the treatment of the elephant so that the authorities could arrange it at the earliest.

He also directed the zoo staff to keep the Four Paws’ experts updated about the treatment and condition of Noor Jehan via video conferencing so that her treatment and rehabilitation could continue according to their instructions.

The administrator expressed his satisfaction over the good progress following the treatment of the elephant by the foreign experts.

He said that the welfare of animals was his top priority and all possible measures were being taken for the care of zoo animals and birds.
