F.P. Report

ISLAMABAD: Minister of State for Climate Change Zartaj Gul has emphatically stated that billion tree tsunami project was implemented in transparent manner in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

Addressing a news conference in Islamabad on Monday, she said project launched in 2014 was estimated to be completed at a cost of twenty two billion rupees.

However, the provincial government completed the project in twelve billion rupees and thus saved ten billion rupees.

Zartaj Gul said the project also received global recognition from Bonn Challenge, World Wildlife Fund and the World Economic Forum.

Minister of State urged the opposition parties not to do politics on the project at a time when world donors are ready to provide funding in the countrywide ten billion tsunami project.

Zartaj Gul asked the media to personally visit Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to witness the success of this project.

She also challenged the opposition parties to visit the plantation sites along with her to ascertain the facts.
