Author:

Spokesperson for the Sindh government and Adviser to Sindh Chief Minister on Law, Coastal Development, Climate Change and Environment Barrister Murtaza Wahab on Friday said that the Sindh government has decided to turn the Mai Kolachi Road into a model road by planting long queues of trees on both side of the road with the help of the members of the civil society.

Barrister Murtaza Wahab said this while talking to the media on the occasion of the inauguration of the campaign on Friday. He said that the Sindh government had decided to make Karachi a pollution-free metropolis. The adviser said that the government would plant hundreds of trees across Mai Kolachi Road. After successful completion of the project the same campaign would be launched elsewhere in the city, he added. The adviser while expressing gratitude to the members of the Bohra community for their active participation in this endeavour of the Sindh government urged other members of the civil society to vigorously take part in the campaign to make the entire city green. He said that the Sindh government’s Green Karachi programme was a great initiative, which would have positive impact on overall atmosphere of the metropolis. The adviser said that it was not only the government’s responsibility to plant trees, but the duty of every individual to plant trees. He reminded that there would be a complete ban on the use of plastic bags throughout the province from October 1.
