Dera Ismail Khan – Pakistan
Tehreek-e-Insaf chief Imran Khan on Monday launched plantation drive in Dera
Ismail Khan (DI Khan) as well.
Imran Khan said as many as 100
million trees have been embedded in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa so far, adding that the
target to plant 1 billion trees will be achieved in 5 years.
According
to details, the PTI chief initiated the plantation drive by planting the first
tree in the city. Talking to the media on this occasion, he said Pakistan is
among the most countries most affected by global warming.
PTI
chief said melting of glaciers results in rising of temperature, adding that
the locals will benefit from the forestation. The PTI chief also freed eagles
for blessings.
Imran
Khan had propelled the province-wide plantation drive in February this year
from Haripur district.
“We
need to leave a better Pakistan for our future generations and the campaign to
save our forests begins from KPK,” he had said earlier this year.
He said
the authorities will have local security teams and volunteers deployed to
protect our forests and nurseries.
Those
who cut down trees illegally will be fined heavily, the PTI chief said.
