Last week, a visitor to Shalimar Garden in Peshawar noticed something unusual. The Women’s Park, a facility designed exclusively for women, was locked and inaccessible. This caught the attention of K-P Minister for Social Welfare, Syed Qasim Ali Shah, who happened to visit the park. He took swift action to change the situation.
The minister immediately ordered the reopening of the Women’s Park. To ensure the public was aware, he instructed officials to display banners at the entrance. These banners now highlight that entry is free for all women. This move ensures no barriers stand in the way of women enjoying this space.
Improvements Announced for Better Visitor Experience
During his visit, the minister received a detailed update about the park’s condition. He was briefed by the Director General of Metropolitan Peshawar and other key officials. The briefing covered the state of the park’s facilities, cleanliness, and security.
After reviewing the situation, Syed Qasim Ali Shah gave clear instructions. He ordered immediate steps to improve cleanliness and basic amenities. Security measures were also emphasized to ensure women feel safe while visiting. The changes aim to provide a comfortable and enjoyable experience for all visitors.
The government’s efforts are part of a broader initiative to create recreational spaces for women in Peshawar. These spaces are essential for relaxation, fitness, and building community connections. Shalimar Garden Women’s Park is now a symbol of these efforts.
Exciting Plans for a Women-Only Festival
To make the reopening even more special, the minister announced another initiative. He revealed plans to organize a women-only recreational festival at Shalimar Garden. This event will offer women a fun and secure environment to enjoy outdoor activities.
The festival is expected to include games, music, and local stalls. Such events are rare in Peshawar, making this announcement especially exciting for the community. The festival will showcase the government’s commitment to empowering women by providing safe spaces.
Shalimar Garden Women’s Park is more than just a park now. It represents progress, inclusivity, and community well-being. These steps by the K-P government highlight their dedication to improving the quality of life for women in the region.
As visitors return to the park, the positive impact of these initiatives will become even more evident. Women and families will have a secure place to relax, enjoy, and create memories.
