KARACHI, March 5: The man who had the idea of creating Safari Park and who moved heaven and earth to make it a reality was not invited by the city government or Governor House to the inauguration of the Go Aish ceremony held on Monday. Governor Sindh was the chief guest at opening ceremony.

Dr A.A. Quraishy, advisor of the park and former director Zoological Gardens acquired 406 acres in 1970 to establish a bigger zoo, zoological garden and botanical garden.

The former director who is very active despite his 80 years said he was happy that the Safari Park was offering entertainment to the people. When asked why he was not at the opening ceremony he said perhaps the city administration had forgotten but he did not mind at all.

Asked for comments, he told this scribe the newly built amusement section was not for people of all groups but meant only for the teen-age group. He advised the city government to think of schemes that offered recreational value to people of all age groups.
