Karachi Mayor Murtaza Wahab visited the Safari Park to witness Madhu Bala's new life and commended the efforts of wildlife experts and the park's administration.
The relocation comes after Madhoo Bala faced loneliness following the tragic death of her companion, Noor Jehan, earlier this year.
Wildlife experts had recommended moving her to a more suitable environment for her well-being.
