Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi promises no tree cutting at Islamabad F-9 Park
Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi assured residents on Sunday that no trees will be cut during upgrades to Islamabad's F-9 Park.
Planned improvements for the park
The minister stated that renovations would feature better lighting, a new lake, and coffee shops. He also promised improved walkways alongside the planting of thousands of additional trees. These changes aim to make the space greener and safer for families.
Commitment against concrete structures
Naqvi explicitly guaranteed that no new concrete buildings will be constructed within the green area. This assurance follows concerns raised by an activist regarding previous development plans. The official confirmed these details in a post on X.
Previous upgrade proposals
Earlier announcements included a plan to revamp the site using London's Hyde Park as a model. The government intends to develop four new parks across the capital alongside this project. Work with the Capital Development Authority continues to shape these recreational facilities.
