PHA Launches Flowering Tree Plantation Drive in Lahore
The Parks and Horticulture Authority says the initiative aims to beautify the provincial capital and combat smog, in line with Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz's directives.
The Parks and Horticulture Authority (PHA) has launched an extensive drive to plant flowering trees across Lahore, according to a report by the Associated Press of Pakistan (APP).
The authority said the initiative is in line with Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz's vision to keep the provincial capital beautiful and free of smog.
According to APP, the plantation drive covers various parts of the city, though further details on the scope, timeline, and specific locations of the campaign were not immediately available.
Smog has been a recurring seasonal concern in Lahore and other parts of Punjab in recent years, with authorities periodically announcing measures aimed at improving air quality and urban greenery.
Officials have not yet provided additional specifics on the number of trees to be planted or the total area to be covered under the drive.
