KABUL (Pajhwok): The Kabul Municipality is working on a plan to shift the Kabul Zoo from its existing location to the Kart-e-Naw Tapa area but some sources term the move as unfair due to the history of the current location and other relevant issues.
The Kabul Zoo was opened back in 1967 in the Dehmazang Square area in the limits of third Police District of capital Kabul.
The zoo was considered one of the best wild animal places in the region but during civil war the site was demolished and later rehabilitated with the financial support of international institutions and organization and extended up to Pul-i-Arton. The Kabul Zoo has membership of Zoo Cooperation Organisation of South Asia.
