Caretaker Chief Minister Punjab Mohsin Naqvi has announced an ambitious plan for upgrading Lahore’s famous Safari Zoo Park.
According to the CM, the park will be transformed into a world-class attraction, following the model of Singapore Safari Park.
He announced this during a visit to the park, where he laid the foundation stone for the upgrade. Naqvi also inspected different sections of the Park, including Sher Ghar, Lake, and animal cages.
The caretaker CM took a boat ride and ordered the officials to improve water cleanliness and enhance recreational facilities for the visitors.
Furthermore, Mohsin Naqvi announced that more animals, such as elephants, rhinos, giraffes, zebras, ostriches, and different species of deer, will be brought to the park.
He also announced building separate zones for African, desert, and salt range wildlife. Caretaker CM mentioned the upcoming launch of a night safari, adding that specially designed huts would be introduced within the park, where visitors can stay overnight.
Naqvi was accompanied by Provincial Ministers Amir Mir, Bilal Afzal, Adviser Wahab Riaz, Chairman Planning and Development Board, Secretaries of Forests, Wildlife and Fisheries, Construction and Communications, Livestock, the Director General of Wildlife, and other officials.

Despite sincere efforts on part of provincial government I doubt it will be at the level of Singapore due to encroaching vendor bigger Mafia who will block al the entrances above that bike , rickshaw and chigchi Mafia will also contribute to road side ancroachments
these people are delusional and live far away from reality. we have much bigger issues to deal with. this is the same park whose management tried to sell lions because they were unable to afford meat
True…What is reality to you? Pakistan should not make any effort to improve on any front for any aspect that the government decides to work upon is either censured as the least preferred or an end to corruption…People who vehemently censure absolutely any effort for development take pride in showing off about their visit to amazing trips abroad but for those that live here should get used to a pathetic life we have so you may show off your visit to the real eifel tower 😉
Please control your daydreaming. The country is invariably on the verge of default and you are talking of Singapore type safari park. The caretaker CM perhaps does not know the volume of loans Pakistan is burdened with or perhaps he thinks that such statements will keep him permanently in his seat. The misery these caretakers have caused to the poor masses will never be forgotten.
First take care of the people singapore style then think about Safari parks. ‘kawa chala hans ki chaal..’
well you are quite right, my humble suggestion is, to give it more state of the art look put all the people involved in Singapore like drama in those separate zones.
