Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani on Wednesday inaugurated the Spring Tree Plantation campaign by planting a tree at the PM House. Gilani planted a "Chir Pine" on the glossy green slopes of the Prime Minister House, an extension to the towering trees that adorn the slopes of the Margallas.
The Prime Minister prayed to Allah Almighty to help the government achieve its goal of making the country green. He was informed that 50 million saplings would be planted during the campaign that generally has around a 70 percent success rate. Prime Minister advised the Ministry of Environment, the provincial forest departments and related departments for concerted efforts to achieve the target of planting over 50 million saplings. He hoped the tree plantation campaign would help keep the environment clean, bring down pollution levels and help the country reverse the depletion of forests.
