Prime Minister Imran Khan has urged the whole nation to participate in the greening of Pakistan.
In a tweet on Saturday, the prime minister shared his pictures of planting Pine trees as part of the monsoon tree plantation campaign in Nathia Gali. “I want our whole nation to participate in the greening of Pakistan,” the premier wrote on his official Twitter handle along with the pictures of the plantation drive.
Last month, the prime minister urged the nation to gear up for “the biggest tree planting campaign in our history”.
“I want all Pakistanis, especially our youth, to gear up for the biggest tree planting campaign in our history. We have a lot of catching up to do,” the premier said on Twitter. “And we will be gearing up this monsoon season for our plantation drive – the biggest in Pakistan’s history,” he added.
In August last year, the premier launched the largest tree plantation drive in the history of Pakistan as the ruling party commemorated the ‘Tiger Force Day’. Addressing a ceremony organised in Islamabad to launch the drive, the premier said many of the areas in the country will turn into desert which will lead to poverty if we do not take measures to overcome the effects of climate change.
