Pakistan Navy celebrates World Environment Day

ISLAMABAD, June 4 (APP):Pakistan Navy (PN) celebrates World Environment Day to underscore the significance of environment in Pakistan and
to promote awareness on protecting the marine environment.
Being a major affectee of marine pollution in Karachi Harbour, PN has initiated numerous measures and actions to reduce pollution, said a press release.
These measures range from systematic collection of solid waste from harbour, large scale plantation of mangroves in coastal areas of Sindh and Balochistan, and sensitizing concerned government and non government organizations about the implications of marine pollution.
While awareness remains a vital factor, a number of activities have been planned at field level to promote awareness and inculcate a sense of responsibility among all to save and preserve the environment. I expect PN to contribute in this national
obligation with dedicated efforts to make the planned events worthwhile and successful.
Chief of Naval Staff, in his message said, on this day let us commit, that we owe it to ourselves and to posterity, to be
the saviour of environment that is a blessing of Allah SWT.
I urge all my countrymen to join hands with PN in providing clean and better environment to ourselves and our future generations.
