F.P. Report

QUETTA: Balochistan Chief Minister Mir Jam Kamal has announced that 1.2 million trees will be planted across the province this year.

Speaking to media in Quetta, Kamal said that under a five-year project of tree plantation, more than 250 million trees would be planted throughout the province.

He said that a new Forest Act will also be imposed soon to promote reforestation in the province.

The chief minister further urged people to actively participate in the plantation campaign.

On Saturday, Prime Minister Imran Khan launched the ‘Plant4Pakistan’ programme in Balloki, Nankana Sahib, under which 10 billion trees will be planted over the next five years.
