KARACHI: Administrator Barrister Murtaza Wahab has said that an artificial waterfall would be developed at Kidney Hill Park and work on it would be completed within two months.

“Lights towers have also been installed for lighting in the park. Soon, Kidney Hill Park will be the best place for the citizens of Karachi,” he said while speaking to the media after laying the foundation stone of the Benazir Bhutto Waterfall.

He also inaugurated the Fauzia Wahab Garden at Kidney Hill Park.

The administrator, who is also the provincial government’s spokesman and chief minister’s adviser on law, said that special design of the Benazir Bhutto Waterfall had been prepared. It would be 200 feet long and 25ft high, he said.

Speaking about the garden named after his mother, he said: “More than 200 fruit trees have been planted in the Fauzia Wahab Garden in Kidney Hill Park. I will personally pay for the garden.”

“The beauty and greenery of the trees gives a pleasant feeling to the visitors. Kidney Hill Park will be an excellent oxygen tank for Karachi due to the abundance of trees. Away from environmental pollution, people can come here and enjoy.”

He said that four modern light towers had been installed in different parts of the park with 24 lights in one tower.

The administrator said that more such light towers would be installed so that visitors to the park could move around easily even at night.

He said that the park had walking trails and each one would be named after various mountains, rivers, lakes, trees, fruits, forests, national parks and deserts of Pakistan.

“KMC’s parks department deserves congratulations for completing all these tasks in the best possible way and in the shortest possible time,” he added.

He said that a tank had also been constructed in the park to store water and plants and trees would be watered by treating sewage.
