The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Friday sought record of recruitment in 10 Billion Tree Tsunami project from the Ministry of Climate Change. A single bench of Justice Lubna Salim Pervez issued these directions, while hearing a petition filed against the recent recruitments in the project.
The IHC bench directed the secretary Climate Change to appear before the court along with the merit list and other record of the recruitment process. After issuing the directions, the bench deferred the hearing until June 2.
Aamir Sattar, a citizen, has moved the court and adopted that people having required educational abilities are being ignored, while making recruitments in the Prime Minister's 10 Billion Tree Tsunami project.
The petitioner requested the court that it may issue orders to ensure recruitments in the project as per merit, and rules and regulations.
He added that people having irrelevant degrees are being employed by violating merit. Therefore, he prayed before the court to stop the authorities from employing the people against the merit, and directed them to ensure implementation of the rules and regulations.
In the last month, Prime Minister Imran Khan had approved "Green Stimulus" package as part of the government's efforts to extend green cover in the county and to create job opportunities for the youth, particularly in the wake of the coronavirus crisis.
The "Green Stimulus" package, as part of 10 Billion Tree Tsunami project, aims to promote plantation, setting up nurseries, natural forests and promotion of honey, fruit and olive plantation in the country.
Under the package, a "Green Nigehbaan" initiative would also be launched to provide job opportunities to 65,000 youth/daily-wage earners in the first phase, making them a part of the plantation campaign.
