Explanation sought for delayed transfer of bears
IHC directs MoCC secretary, IWMB chief told to appear in person
ISLAMABAD:
The managers of the zoo in the federal capital and the government have been asked to explain why the transfer of two Himalayan bears to a sanctuary in Jordan has faced delays.
This was directed on Wednesday by a single-member bench of the Islamabad High Court (IHC), comprising Chief Justice Athar Minallah, as it heard a contempt of court case regarding animals at the Marghzar Zoo in Islamabad.
The two bears were supposed to have flown out of the country on December 6 but now they are supposed to depart on Thursday, December 10.
