LAHORE: The Punjab Livestock and Dairy Development Board (PLDDB) will plant 100,000 trees of various kinds in the monsoon season at the Livestock Experiment Station (LES) Khizerabad with the cooperation of Punjab Forest Department. This was announced at a ceremony held at the LES Farm Khizerabad.
Speaking on the occasion, Chairman PLDDB/provincial minister for labour Raja Ashfaq Sarwar said that environmental pollution was a global dilemma and reforestation is the most effective and natural cure for it.
“Trees are the key to maintaining a clean and healthy environment,” Sarwar said, adding that they can act as a major source of revenue since “wood produced in a day has become more costly than iron due to lack of forests.” Director PLDDB Saira Iftikhar said shisham, kikar, moringa and shahtoot are among the varieties being planted.
