FIR lodged against tree cutting outside Bilawal House

AKARACHI: Police on Monday registered a case against cutting of Neem trees in front of Bilawal House in Karachi after the matter was highlighted in a video by PTI MPA Khurram Sher Zaman a day before.

Khurram Sher Zaman shot a video outside Bilawal House in Karachi on Sunday highlighting that some men claiming to be from a DMC are involved in the entire episode.

He lamented during the video that on one hand the PPP leaders are taking credit for encouraging plantation while on the other hand some people are cutting trees in front of the residence of top PPP leader.

On Monday, while speaking to a private TV channel, Khurram Sher Zaman shared that people involved in cutting trees for personal use were booked in a case by the police. It is an unfortunate act that trees are being cut down, he said, adding that several trees were chopped off in front of the Bilawal House. He urged all political groups to join hands in the plantation drive for the future generations.
