Exactly. I don't know how stupid do you have to be to do this stuff.

Just look at the new u-turns in front of F-9 park facing F-10. They closed them off within 1 week, and we are back to how we were originally, and wasted so much money on that. And, with the fish eye design, and cars parked on the side of the road, and those god awful cat eyes the size of bricks, the mess is even bigger than before.

Abhi likhwa lo mere say, they are gonna make this 10th Avenue interchange, and then close off the Faqeer Aipee signal for turning traffic.

i think they are going to close off g-10 and g-9 signals as well. the only benefit is that i will have direct access to h-9 from kashmir highway.

That's even more stupid than CDA's incompetence.

I can't wait for when the GHQ gets completed and Margalla road roundabout gets blocked or something.

Pakistan planning to open a virtual zoo in Islamabad​

There are plans to have animatronic animal models, a visual museum, and educational 3D presentations to educate the public.

By Sameer Tahir March 7, 2022

Representatives from the Capital Development Authority (CDA) and the Islamabad Wildlife Management Board (IWMB) paid a visit to the closed Islamabad Zoo on Saturday to discuss the possibility of establishing a virtual zoo there.

CDA Chairman Amer Ali Ahmed and IWMB Chairperson Rina Saeed Khan were present during the visit.

After successful launch of guided tours of our Leopard Preserve Zone in MHNP, IWMB now hopes to open up sections of old zoo to public for virtual tours! It’s all about using technology to educate & inspire public! Working on concept with CDA
@CDAthecapital

@WildlifeBoard

Both governments agreed that two-thirds of the old closed Islamabad zoo would be used for public entertainment.

Documentaries and high-tech films will be shown, and a daily virtual show will be held in the evening.

The remaining one-third of the property will be used as a rescue and rehabilitation centre for animals.

There are plans to have animatronic animal models, a visual museum, and educational 3D presentations to engage the public and educate them about wildlife and the importance of preserving their freedom.

The commencement of construction work on the Islamabad zoo's restoration project has been set for almost one and a half months.

Following an order from the Islamabad High Court (IHC), the zoo was closed in December 2020.
IHC ruled that all animals in the zoo be relocated to sanctuaries, including Kavaan, the only elephant in the zoo, who gained international attention as the "loneliest elephant on Earth."

The Islamabad zoo, known as the 'Marghazar Zoo,' first opened its doors in 1978. The zoo used to attract one million visitors per year on average.

Just malls mall malls, with some extra malls, and then a few apartments.
besides Karachi I just don’t think Pakistanis prefer living in highrises, would love to see super tall residential buildings, but almost all tall buildings in Islamabad are malls of some sort.
