Amidst this, the role of non-governmental organization is plausible and worth praising.

The federal government of PTI should also take this matter and hold relevant stakeholders responsible for the killings of animal beings and damage to the environment. It is hoped that beach will be considered nature’s blessing in real sense and required preventive measures will be taken.
