Eateries in protected national park thrive under CDA patronage in Islamabad

ISLAMABAD: The Directorate of Municipal Administration (DMA) and the environment wing have allowed commercial activities on state land in the national park.

The DMA allowed an owner of a snack bar in Shakarparian to use a huge area of land for running a restaurant in the garb of open space, while the environment wing is patronising a restaurant near Lok Virsa.

Both restaurants have been using vast land in the national park with immunity as they have the permission from the DMA and the environment wing.
