Islamabad : Saplings planted at Islamabad expressway from I-8 interchange to Faizabad during the last tree plantation drive had withered due to negligence of Metropolitan Corporation Islamabad (MCI).
Not a single sapling planted at Expressway from I-8 interchange to Faizabad during last tree plantation drive had survived because of lack of proper care.
People regularly travelling along the Expressway from Islamabad to Rawat urged the MCI to not only plant local environment friendly saplings but also devise a mechanism to look after these samplings.
Zahid Mehmood daily traveling on the road said that from 1-8 to Faizabad huge space is available to plant more trees. “I hope during current drive, MCI will follow the vision of the Prime Minister and plant more and more trees not only along the expressway adding to the beauty of the best planned capital in the world.
Director General MCI Manzoor Hussain Shah, while talking to this agency said although the mandate to plant saplings in federal capital jurisdiction had come under his department for the first time, he would direct MIC to visit the expressway and submit the report about the saplings planted in the last drive.
About upcoming tree plantation drive, he said MCI alone would plant about 0.3 million saplings across the federal capital to make the city more beautiful while NGOs and other schools college would also plant about 0.2 million saplings.
