The Sindh High Court directed on Saturday relevant authorities to form a five-member committee, comprising veterinary doctors and other clinical experts, over a plea against keeping a bear cub without its mother in the Karachi Zoological Garden. The zoo administration submitted a report in the court, stating that Rano, the bear cub, was being kept in a good condition. The court directed the committee to submit a detailed report in two weeks after inspecting the Karachi Zoological Gardens and four other similar projects that are underway. On Thursday, the court had ordered the zoo administration to shift Rano, who was reportedly being kept in a small cage, to an environment similar to its natural habitat. Officials from the Sindh Wildlife Department told The Express Tribune that the bear should be kept in much cooler conditions.
