“A team of KMC on the directives of Administrator Karachi Murtaza Wahab visited the Karachi Zoo to look into the living conditions of the animals,” it said.
The municipal authority shared that there is a one-week food available for the animals at the Zoo and they are currently being provided with adequate food, contrary to the propaganda launched at the behest of some miscreant elements who wanted to achieve their nefarious designs.
