KARACHI: The health of Noor Jehan, a 17-year-old African elephant at Karachi Zoo, has further worsened as she fell into a pond inside her enclosure.
As per details, the zoo management reported that Elephant Noor Jehan fell into a cemented pond within her cage. They used a crane, ropes, and belts to lift her out of the water.
The elephant is not able to stand and is laying down on the floor.
For the past three months, Noor Jehan has been experiencing severe physical trauma and is currently an intensive care.
It may be noted that a seven-member team of international experts of Four Paws on Wednesday started the treatment of Noor Jehan at the Karachi Zoo.
Their visit follows an order by the Sindh High Court (SHC) in Karachi last year for Four Paws to assess the health of the animals after local animal rights activists had raised concerns in court about their well-being.
It is pertinent to mention here that all four African elephants arrived in Pakistan in 2009. Elephant Noor Jehan and Madhubala had been moved to the Karachi Zoo, while Malika and Sonu had been taken to the Safari Park.
