Sindh’s chief minister orders top-tier care with plans for a prosthetic leg.

Overview

  • At a Karachi-area shelter in Murad Memon Goth, veterinarians repaired the camel’s fractured jaw using rods and a supporting frame and amputated the infected right hind leg to halt complications.
  • The three-hour procedure, led by Drs. Javed Khuhso, Zulfiqar Otho and Ali Gopan, was completed without significant blood loss, according to the official medical report.
  • Livestock Secretary Kazim Jatoi reported that Chandni is conscious, stable and under round-the-clock post-operative monitoring, with feeding expected to begin within two days and to normalize in three to five weeks.
  • Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah praised the team, directed that care continue at the highest standard and instructed officials to consult specialists on providing an artificial limb once wounds heal.
  • Police say two of three suspects named in the case have been arrested and a third is being sought, while animal-rights advocates are urging strict prosecution.
