Efforts are underway to save the 17-year-old elephant Noor Jahan at the Karachi Zoo. A few days after the elephant was treated by the Four Paws team, her condition deteriorated again. Noor Jahan fell into the pond, after which she has not been able to stand on her feet. The elephant was pulled out with the help of a crane, while its crotch is changed only with the help of a crane.
According to a Dawn news report, a nine-member committee of experts formed by the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation is reviewing all aspects, including euthanizing the elephant. On the other hand, the arrival of the Four Paws team is also awaited, which is expected next week. The positive effects in the last two days have also raised hopes of improvement, while the elephant’s diet has increased. At first glance, wounds have also formed on the elephant’s skin due to the crane belt and ropes.
A nine-member committee formed by the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation is making efforts to treat the elephant. The committee includes Dr. Amir Khalil and Dr. Marina Eva Nova of Four Paws, as well as Dr. Frank Gurez, head of the Institute of Wildlife and Zoo Research from Germany, and Dr. Thomas Hilderbrand, head of the Department of Reproduction Management, in addition to former senior director of Karachi Zoo Dr. Mansoor Qazi, professor of the Department of Parasitology of the Veterinary University Lahore, Dr. Imran Rashid, doctor of Animal Care Center Karachi, Dr. Asma Gheewala, deputy director of the zoo Dr. Amir Rizvi, and Dr. Kazim Hussain, member of the zoo expert panel of the zoo and safari park.
According to the details, the elephant Noor Jahan was unable to walk due to her poor health. A team of Four Paws consisting of international experts visited Pakistan for her examination and treatment. The team included Dr. Amir Khalil, Dr. Marina Ivanova, Dr. Frank Gurez, Dr. Thomas Hilderbrand and others.
According to Dr. Amir Khalil’s statements in the media, Noor Jahan’s lower abdomen was swollen and her back was completely hanging, due to which she was facing difficulty in walking. He said that after the elephant’s endoscopy and ultrasound, it was found that a hematoma had formed in the elephant’s body. Due to the large size of the hematoma, pressure is increasing on the elephant’s other organs. After the elephant’s surgery, the Four Paws team left for home. The team held a detailed meeting with Administrator Karachi Dr. Syed Saif-ur-Rehman. Municipal Commissioner Shujaat Hussain and other officers were also present on the occasion.
On the occasion of Noor Jahan’s treatment, Sindh Governor Kamran Tesori said that there were shortcomings in the care of the zoo animals in the past. He said that he would try his best to solve the existing problems by visiting the zoo regularly. On this occasion, the Sindh Governor also announced the construction of a special animal hospital inside the zoo within three months. It should be noted that Noor Jahan, along with the elephant Madhubala, Sonu and Malka, were brought to Pakistan in 2009.
These four elephants have been the center of entertainment for the citizens of Karachi. Noor Jahan and Madhubala were kept in the Karachi Zoo, while Sonu and Malka were kept in the Safari Park. On the orders of the Sindh High Court, the Four Paws team has previously visited Pakistan for the treatment of Noor Jahan and Madhubala. On the other hand, an organization called Four Paws also played a role in the transfer of the elephant Kawan from the Islamabad Zoo to the Cambodian Sanctuary.
