Karachi zoo, formerly known
as, Gandhi garden, was managed
by a horticulturist who was
not trained to run a large and
varied species in a zoo with
over a thousand of mammals,
birds, reptiles---of foreign
and local origin.
Around early fifties the government
saw that the city of three lacs
was swelling fast in population
and was also the capital of
the country. The developing
graph on every level also brought
the focus on appointing a qualified
specialist to run the zoo on
scientific lines and also to
improve it.
A post in 1952 was created and
countrywide search launched
through press. More
