Sir: Apropos Mr Kashif Pirzada’s letter “Improving air quality” (Daily Times, February 29), he is unduly worried about the cutting of the pollen-producing paper mulberry from Islamabad. Not to worry, under the current able stewardship that steers Islamabad’s Capital Development Authority (CDA) to disaster, all these cut trees will be duly replaced with date palms, all standing twelve feet tall. It is clear that the Potohar Plateau on which Islamabad is situated does not have any indigenous species to be planted. First some morons had to plague the city with paper mulberry, and now another set will turn this sub-montane country into Dubai. But worry not, there will be trees. SALMAN RASHIDLahore
