Despite acknowledging financial constraints causing delays in various projects, he shared his vision of creating additional recreational spots within the city.
Deputy Mayor Karachi, speaking on the occasion, highlighted ongoing development initiatives across all seven districts of Karachi. He also announced plans to introduce horse riding at Dino Safari Park in the near future.
The zip line project was mentioned earlier this year in August when Mayor Karachi inaugurated the newly-developed dinosaur park in Safari Park. He stated that the zip line project would soon be operational in the park.
It is noteworthy that the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) had announced last year its intention to launch a zipline at Bagh Ibne Qasim near Clifton’s coastline. The announcement was made by the then City Administrator, Murtaza Wahab, who now serves as the Mayor of Karachi. However, the zipline is yet to be installed at Bagh Ibne Qasim.
Safari park had a zip line since last 15 years! However it was made non operational for last 2 years due to non sanction of fund for its repairs by ppp government…. Now this unpopular and minority mayor trying to deceive karachittes.
safari park main pehly se tha.. kuch salon se band tha ab dobara reopen hua hai..
First they need to understand that our basic problem in Karachi is waste and traffic management, cleanliness comes first, recreational spots will truly serve their purpose when basic issues are dealt with.
Zipline was there since long. I already enjoyed this experience in 2014 .This is cheap marketing by Mayor Karachi
