done < $src_path/CON_zip_path_1.txt ;

To be safe in case spaces, tabs, other IFS characters are later added to the value assigned to the src_path variable, I think you should also quote the expansion of src_path in the redirection at the end of the loop as well as in all places where it is expanded inside the loop:
Code:
done < "$src_path"/CON_zip_path_1.txt ;
