Lahore: To combat environmental pollution and honour the memory of Gaza-Palestine martyrs, Alkhidmat Foundation (AKF) planted 10,000 saplings at Thokar Niaz Baig near NAB office under its smog-free campaign.

AKF volunteers planted Lagerstroemia (Gul Fanosh), Arjun, Pilkhan, Jamun, Sukh Chayn, Terminalia (Indian almond) and Jacaranda. The drive took place during a special event attended by central figures of the foundation, international organisations, university representatives, and volunteers from various sectors.

The primary objective of the campaign is to promote environmental consciousness by encouraging widespread tree plantation and creating a cleaner, smog-free atmosphere. Dr Mushtaq Mangat, Central Vice-President of Alkhidmat Foundation, highlighted the significance of the mega plantation drive, emphasising its dedication to the martyrs of Palestine.
