Declining beauty of Abbottabad

Author: Daily Times

Sir: Abbottabad is a small town located in a spacious valley surrounded by green hills. It is a popular summer resort. It’s romantic weather attracts thousands of visitors from all over Pakistan. It is one of the most beautiful cities, and serves as a gateway for beautiful Pakistan.

Abbottabad today is a thriving tourism and business centre. The city is recently developed from nonindustrial background to a busy modern business, economic and academic centre. Amid this, trees are being cut down to obtain timber and to clear land for construction purposes. It is a dangerous situation, and the beauty of the city is being affected. If it remains unquestioned, the city will change into a barren land in the near future.

Therefore, the government should pay attention to it by launching information campaigns regarding the effects of climate change, as well as formulating and implementing strict rules against timber mafia.
