Sir: The plantation of an alien plant Specie – the Conocarpus locally known as Mustafa Kamal plant is considered as a threat to the environment. This alien plant is a mangrove plant which is being planted in a mass level in Turbat city these days. Almost all the public places such as parks, roadsides and educational institutions including my own school where numbers of Conocarpus trees are planted.
According to the experts, these plants bring an environmental disaster to the environment. Moreover, it sucks all the ground level water which consequently leads to water scarcity in the city and it also reduces the average rainfall. On the whole, I as a citizen of Turbat, humbly request the government of Balochistan to take measures to save Turbat from environmental hazards.
