KARACHI: Mayor Karachi Barrister Murtaza Wahab said on Sunday that Karachi Zoo (Gandhi Garden) is a valuable asset of the city, and practical steps are being taken to transform it into a modern, safe, and nature-friendly recreational and educational center in line with international standards.
He was talking to the media at the inaugural ceremony of new enclosures, the Reptile House, Bridge and other facilities at the Karachi Zoo.
Deputy Parliamentary Leader in the City Council Dil Muhammad and other council members were also present.
Murtaza Wahab said that for several decades the internal pathways, enclosures, and facilities of Karachi Zoo were in a dilapidated condition.
However, a modern enclosure has now been constructed over an area of two acres, where the lions Chandni and Rani are being kept in an open environment that is harmonious with their natural habitat. These enclosures are fitted with modern bulletproof glass, while special arrangements have also been made for playing in water and resting.
