City’s biggest aquarium inaugurated

KARACHI, Sept 18: Displaying over 50 species of fish, mostly imported ones, the city’s biggest aquarium set up at a cost of over Rs30 million was inaugurated at the Landhi-Korangi zoo on Tuesday.

Sindh Governor Dr Ishartul Ibad, who inaugurated the aquarium, said that the renovated Landhi-Korangi Zoo and the fish aquarium would provide good recreation facilities to people in this area.

However, he said, there was a need for providing more recreation and sports facilities to the masses along with infrastructure development.

He called for induction of more animals and birds to make the city’s second zoo, which had been renovated (the first being the Karachi Zoo), more attractive and more informative.

Earlier, while briefing the governor about the Landhi-Korangi zoo, senior director of the culture, sports & recreation department Rehan Khan said it was established on seven acres in 1974.

Work on the construction of the aquarium that started in 2004 could not be completed for many years, he said, adding that it was only this year that construction work resumed and the facility was finally opened for the public on Tuesday.

He added that around 40 ponds were being developed here for fish breeding.

KMC Administrator Mohammad Hussain Syed said that the Landhi sports complex would also be completed this month to provide more sports facilities to people in Landhi and Korangi.

He added that a world-class football stadium would be built in the sports complex on Kashmir Road and the Sindh Snooker Academy would also start functioning this month.
 
flying over new Islamabad airport site
Looks huge, i love the design but putting two runways next to each other sounds/looks dumb, they could have put the terminal building between two runways.

Not sure which 5 floor building you are talking about, the one above your comment? and no, they cant be labeled 'development' unless they are malls.

You guys need to think bigger to build bigger. All I see on this thread is small buildings and roads. Where are delhi size airports, supertalls, metros, monorails, power plants. This is what development is...

India in last 5 yrs alone has built 50 new new airports. Lucknow airport looks better than Islamabad.

Now buzz off.
 
Guys stop competing India to Pakistan it is insulting for both sides. You wouldn't compare India to Laos (similar Per capita income) wrt infrastructure. India and Paksitan have very different economies and different budgets- India is planning to spend $1.4 trillion USD on infrastructure in the next 7 years on infrastructure it is unfair to ask Pakistan to compete.

Well thats true, Pakistan can't be compared to India. India is now entering the next stage of development. A mature phase highrise boom, and middle class blast. Last 5 years we spent 425(target was 500)billion$ on infra. We can see the difference all across the country. While Pakistanis are busy construction roads and parks and ugly 5 floor building, India is building 12 metro rails in 12 different cities. Our high way construction last year was 5500 km and Pakistanis claim they have best highways in the world. Their tiny highway network is 8000km :lol:

In next 5 yrs even if we are able to achieve 850 billion out of planned 1 trillion $, that would see high speed rails on many corridors, integerated townships and nmiz and metros running in over 30 cities of India.
