KARACHI: City District Government Karachi (CDGK) had to indulge in a battle with the land mafia and other agencies to save the precious part of land reserved for landmark Shaheed Benazir Bhutto Park. Some influential people wanted to grab this land for erecting a commercial complex or housing scheme on this land.
The Shaheed Benazir Bhutto Park is nearing its completion and President of Pakistan Asif Ali Zardari would inaugurate the Park next month. CDGK has executed all works from construction to completion while the federal government had provided necessary funds in this regard.
City Nazim Karachi Syed Mustafa Kamal stated on the occasion of Park’s inspection for overseeing the ongoing development works alongwith District Coordination Officer Karachi Muhammad Javed Hanif Khan.
CDGK Director General Parks and Horticulture Department Liaquat Ali Khan on that occasion briefed city nazim on the Park.
He said that the park was 3-km length and spread over 152-acres. Provision of various facilities such as food courts and wooden walking and jogging tracks have been ensured in the park alongwith more than 35 exercise machines and number of swings.
He also informed that a bridge was also constructed in order to link two sides of the park while plantation of lucrative and decorative trees and seasonal flowers would add to the scenic beauty of the Park.
