The dilapidated condition of wildlife parks,
Who is responsible?
Despite funds of Rs 1.5 billion, the animals started starving
Become Poor Park due to these reasons
Mismanagement, corruption, and nepotism turned Rahim Yar Khan's Wildlife Park into a Wild Poor Park, consuming crores of rupees in the name of breeding rare species of animals and birds, deprived of the influence of good governance in the province. , Punjab, Balochistan Rahim Yar Khan district of Punjab, located at the confluence of three provinces, had recently become the center of global attention due to prolonged drought in Tharparkar and Cholistan, the government said at the time.
Billions of rupees are needed to provide drinking water in the hundreds of kilometers of the Cholistan desert, so the poor of cattle and wildlife from the drought has nothing to do with the alleged mismanagement by the provincial and district administrations, but 30 years ago, 18 acres of wildlife were rare. Rahim Yar Khan Wildlife Park, built for the protection of the races, tells a different story.
During these three decades, Rs 1.5 billion has been spent on this park from the national exchequer according to the current value of the rupee, but the irony is this. Not only that, a large part of this huge amount of money has been embezzled Continuing this looting, the dumb wildlife has been kept in such a precarious condition that their breeding has been put aside, their own lives are in danger, a large number of them. Relocated to other wildlife parks, few of which are present, many are sick and unable to reproduce.
Current Situation of Wildlife Park
The vast park currently houses only about a hundred rare peacocks, five sick monkeys, ten to fifteen ducks, and about a dozen rare animals and birds, including a very thin and sick deer and blue cow.
The wildlife park looks like a desert, these 18 acres have fresh canal water for about 9 hours but for the last 20 years this canal water has not been available for the wildlife here as the officials in charge of wildlife conservation and rehabilitation have constructed this canal.
Water has been sold to local landlords, kiln owners, and kiln owners at Rs. 400 per hour, and in a cycle of corruption of only Rs. 1.5 lakh per annum, dumb wildlife is being fed underground bitter, salty, and highly toxic water.
What's more, the contractor who started the construction work at a cost of Rs. 5-6 crore three years ago has destroyed the system of watercourses (skins) of the wildlife park, which has resulted in tube wells in 80% of the wildlife park.
This bitter water is not reaching the ground, and the remaining ducks, deer, blue cows, peacocks, etc. Anwar is also deprived of freshwater. Instead of freshwater, the duck's water pound is a puddle of foul-smelling muddy water that is two or three years old. Instead of listing, more construction work worth crores of rupees is now being contracted.
Who are the Main Culprits
Another important part of this dark city is widespread corruption in the system of providing fresh and healthy food on a daily basis for wildlife, disease, and Hunger has made even fast-moving creatures like monkeys sit on a sit-in in a state of cosmopolitanism.
Another cruelty is that brick kilns and kilns have been set up around the park by "turning a blind eye" to the corrupt officials of the wildlife park. Numerous items emitting toxic fumes, including wheat straw, cotton plant waste, cotton waste, poultry farm waste, are among the most dangerous TMA kiln owners in garbage sold at Rs. 500 to Rs. 700 per trolley, most of which are plastic bottles, shopper bags, guns.
Each kiln uses a garbage trolley on a daily basis, which consists of a regular TMA business contract between TMA Rahim Yar Khan's officers and cleaning staff. Supplied in government tractor-trolleys, the smoke has made the atmosphere at Rahim Yar Khan Wildlife Park extremely toxic, especially at night and early in the morning when the wind blows from the kilns towards the park, making it difficult to breathe.
Responsibility of Departments and Duty
Is Many national and international organizations such as the Pakistan Wildlife Foundation, the Hobara Foundation of the United Arab Emirates, and the International Union for Conservation of Nature spend crores of rupees annually on Cholistan and Rahim Yar Khan districts to conserve rare wildlife.
Yet Rahim Yar Khan Wildlife Park Ghulam Farid, a veterinary assistant and in-charge, said that the monkey was not sick but had grown old, which made him sluggish in walking or eating. He treated the animals if they got any disease.
During his 12 years of deployment, the wildlife park is better than ever and the animals have been removed. A scheme of development works worth Rs. 6 crore is underway in the park out of which work worth Rs. 3 crore has been completed.
Contractor Haji Rizwan The work has been stopped for some time, saying that the arrears should be provided to him and he could not complete the work till June 30.
Conclusion
The reason is that the contractor has left the work unfinished and fled. Zulqarnain, a citizen who came to walk in the park and enjoy some good time Say wildlife It would have been much better to go to a deserted place instead of coming to the park.
When you come here, it looks like it is not a wildlife park, it is a wild poor park where animals are kept like animals. It is kept as a punishment. The disorder and carelessness in the park have been extreme. There is no welfare of animals and property.
