190,000 saplings to be planted in Attock

During the Monsoon Tree Plantation Campaign, more than 190,000 saplings will be planted across the Attock district.
Divisional Forest Officer Sajid Quddus said this while talking to this scribe here at his office. He said during the month-long campaign plants of different kinds will remain available at nurseries situated at Khaliqdad, Shahpur Dam and Jand at nominal prices. He said plants to defence forces and education department will be provided free of cost. He said, "For better environment, we must grow trees and discourage deforestation as trees not only beautify land but also guarantee clean and healthy environment." He said after the holy month of Ramazan, a special campaign will be launched against timber mafia and culprits will be brought to book.
