FAISALABAD:Parks & Horticulture Authority (PHA) has completed all necessary arrangements to distribute free of cost plants among the people on the occasion of Jashn-e-Azadi here on Saturday.
Director General PHA Asima Ejaz Cheema said that the plants were eco-friendly therefore, the PHA had decided to distribute free plants to celebrate Youm-e-Azadi so that we could save our environment from pollution and other hazards. She said that PHA had planned to plant 100,000 saplings during August 2021 and for this purpose, various teams were constituted and activated for tree plantation in green belts, parks and other available spaces in the city. She said that the PHA had also established 20 points in the city for Miyawaki forestry under “Clean and Green” Pakistan programme as the plant grows 10 times faster under this technique.
The advantage of Miyawaki forestry was that after a certain period of growth, the forests do not need any maintenance but remain self-sufficient and these forests will also be a source of beauty in the city, she said.
