ATTOCK, Sep 16 (APP):Adviser to the Prime Minister on Climate Change Malik Amin Aslam on Monday said
about one million saplings would be planted on 16,000 kanal land of Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) in next four years.

Addressing the inauguration ceremony of plantation at Environmental Park in Ghorghushti, he said, “The plantation at this site, which is part of the10 Billion Tree Tsunami Plantation Project under the Clean Green Pakistan, will meet a success like the Billion Tree Tsunami of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.”

The forest land would become a recreational site and tourist spot for local people as mostly flower bearing plants would be planted on it, he added.
