ISLAMABAD – Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi stated that F-9 Park was being upgraded along the lines of London’s Hyde Park.
Additionally, a safari park—projected to be Asia’s largest—along with another park matching the size of F-9, would be developed, he said.
“By the time we leave office, we will make Islamabad three times greener than it was,” he resolved, also announcing that the complete digitalization of land records would be finalized by the end of this year.

Contrasting this development with PTI’s politics of long march, Naqvi urged the public to evaluate whether their elected representatives were working tirelessly for their welfare or indulging in negative politics.
The interior minister said that the project was part of the prime minister’s vision to transform and beautify Islamabad ahead of the SCO Heads of State Summit scheduled to be held in Islamabad next year.
He noted that upon the completion of the Kashmir Chowk and Expressway service road projects, the travel time between the twin cities would be slashed from the current 30 minutes down to just 16 to 18 minutes.
The minister said that Minister of State Talal Chaudhry was personally overseeing two key initiatives: making Islamabad entirely plastic-free and transitioning the capital into a cashless city, with both projects targeted for completion by the end of the year.
