According to the report of AFP, in 2015 and 2016, some 16,000 labourers planted more than 9,00,000 fast-growing eucalyptus trees at regular, geometric intervals in Heroshah — and the titanic task is just a fraction of the effort across the Province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Imran Khan talking to AFP has already desired to put more than 10 billion trees through the length and breadth of the country. “Every child in Pakistan should be aware of the environmental issue which, until now, has been a non-issue,” he told AFP.
Although Prime Minister Imran Khan is aware of climate change and worth of plants in turning the arid land into green one, the lower level management does not seem to be, even in Peshawar. This campaign started after the death of several animals, which is quite disconcerting.
General public has praised the decision and hoped that the government will keep on expanding the tree plantation campaign. One of the visitors said greenery war vital and with the plantation of trees, thing will get better and people will come in big number. This will serve many purposes, from increasing the number of tourists to making the environment free from pollution.
