Monitoring of Lahore Zoo
In January 2024, the caretaker Punjab Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi ordered various government departments, including the Intelligence Bureau and Anti-Corruption Establishment, to monitor ongoing construction work at Lahore Zoo and Safari Zoo. He asked them to update his office about the progress on a daily basis, setting a target to complete the Lahore Zoo and Safari Park Upgradation Projects by January 31st.
Officials from the Planning and Development Department, the Forests and Wildlife Department, and the CM Office are regularly visiting both facilities to monitor the construction and ensure the timely completion of the project. According to sources, IB and anti-corruption teams also regularly review the development plan, and pictures and videos are being taken to verify the progress of the construction.
