Technical committee to examine deliveries for Nowshera Safari Park: Secretary

PESHAWAR, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 6th Apr, 2026) The technical committee will meticulously examine each deliverable for Nowshera Safari Park and submit its detailed inputs and report, said Junaid Khan, Secretary, Climate Change, Forestry, Environment and Wildlife Department (CCFE&WD) on Monday. 

He was chairing a meeting on the public private partnership scheme regarding the Safari park project.

The meeting was attended by Ahmad Jalil Chief Conservator Forest Region-I,  Asghar Khan, Chief Conservator Forest Region-II, Dr. Mohsin Farooq, Chief Conservator Wildlife KP along with senior representatives including the SPO and Dr. Anwar Ali from Pakistan Forest Institute.

The evaluation committee of the government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has already approved a significant milestone in the feasibility study for the establishment of "Safari Park at District Nowshera". 

The Committee, which convened on April 3, 2026, under the chairmanship of the Additional Secretary (Development), undertook a comprehensive review of the consultant’s Inception Report and Desk/Literature Review Report.

 After thoughtful deliberation, both deliverables were unanimously endorsed for fully meeting the prescribed Terms of Reference and contractual obligations, marking the successful completion of the first milestone.

While the case has been forwarded to the  PPP scheme for approval and onward submission to the Planning & Development Department, the Secretary CCFE&WD underscored the importance of due diligence and directed the constitution of a Technical Committee. This body will undertake a deeper, more discerning review of the deliverables and furnish its recommendations to the Planning & Development Department for informed decision-making.

This measured and transparent approach reflects the Government’s steadfast commitment to fostering sustainable tourism, preserving wildlife, and promoting environmentally responsible development, ensuring that progress unfolds not merely with speed, but with wisdom and integrity.
