Islamabad to Get New Safari Park Soon
The federal government has confirmed plans to build a Safari Park in Islamabad, with an estimated cost of Rs. 10 billion.
The project undertaken by the Capital Development Authority (CDA), was announced by Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi during the inauguration of Serena Interchange.
Authorities considered Fatima Jinnah Park as a potential site, but they are now exploring alternative locations. Sources indicate that Naqvi, who previously oversaw the construction of a Safari Park in Lahore during his tenure as Punjab’s chief minister, aims to establish a similar attraction in the capital.
Meanwhile, CDA has generated Rs. 129 billion from commercial plot auctions over the past five years. The revenue from these auctions is expected to support various development initiatives in the capital, including the Safari Park.
