60,000 more trees to be planted by March: Talal

ISLAMABAD
Minister of State for Interior Talal Chaudhry on Tuesday informed the National Assembly that only the allergy-causing paper mulberry trees had been removed in Islamabad, saying that the capital is now “greener than before” and that 60,000 additional trees would be planted by the end of March.
Responding to a calling attention notice moved by MNA Muhammad Riaz Fatyana regarding wanton tree cutting in Islamabad, Talal Chaudhry said the issue had been widely debated on social and electronic media, but facts established that only specific categories of trees were removed.
