Significant progress has been made in the establishment of Pakistan’s first virtual zoo in the Federal Capital as the Capital Development Authority (CDA) has issued a NOC for giving the zoo’s land to the Islamabad Wildlife Management Board (IWMB).
According to credible sources within the metropolitan corporation, CDA’s Land Department has allotted 25 acres of the zoo’s land to IWMB.
The IWMB will build a virtual zoo and wildlife rescue center on the land. The IWMB has also submitted PC-II of Rs. 500 million to the Planning Commission of Pakistan (PCP).
Chairperson IWMB, Rina Saeed, has confirmed the allocation of land to IWMB. She said two-thirds of the land will be used as an entertainment area where documentaries, animatronic models of animals, a visual gallery, informative 3D shows, high-tech movies, and virtual shows will be arranged for the citizens.
She added that one-third of the land will be used to establish a rescue and rehabilitation center at the zoo. This rescue center will also be the first of its kind to bring rescued animals from all over Pakistan and provide them with medical care.
It is worth recalling here that the zoo was closed in December 2020 following an order by the Islamabad High Court (IHC). The court ruled to transfer all animals to shelters as well.
What a pathetic display picture, Pakistan’s culture has not polluted yet to the level as depicted in this picture of Foreigners wearing western dresses, we regret this style of giving news wherein pictures of people alien to the culture and community are shown in a way so that these are deemed to Pakistani people’s pictures. Please take it down.
Well done sir… This is a loyal and reality base opinion.
“Has not polluted yet?” Haven’t you watched even a PTV drama lately let alone the dramas broadcast on Hum? “The culture” has changed a lot. Western culture is creeping in without a bit of realization. Our society has long ago started adopting a culture that has nothing to do with us. But I wonder how come the West rules the world with their women’s bodies half uncovered? And the “Muslims” of Pakistan with their every “khabasat” with care about what their women should wear and what not? Alhamdulillah, being from a Pakhtoon family living in Charsadda, KPK, I don’t see even a single woman here with a lock of hair peeping out of her burqa but there are a lot of other evils in this country we have to give priority to in order to wipe out.
