While hearing a petition seeking relocation of the bear, belonging to a breed called a Syrian brown bear, allegedly kept in abysmal condition at the zoo, the Sindh High Court had directed the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) to install an air cooler or air conditioner inside its enclosure within 48 hours.
“If an air-cooler is not installed, an air-conditioner from the KMC director or the [relevant] secretary’s room be removed and installed in the enclosure,” the court said.
