Islamabad, July 25, 2021 (PPI-OT):Prime Minister Imran Khan will launch the countrywide monsoon plantation drive tomorrow (Monday) in a bid to turn Pakistan green. The Prime Minister will plant a sapling at Fatima Jinnah Park in Sector F-9 Islamabad as a gesture to encourage the masses to fully participate in the tree-plantation campaign. The nationwide activity is taking place in the rainy season of monsoon as part of the Ten Billion Tree Tsunami under the auspices of the Ministry of Climate Change. In the next few weeks, the Capital Development Authority will plant nearly half a million trees across Islamabad.

Islamabad over the years, has witnessed a massive reduction in tree cover, particularly in the last two decades. However, the green graph is gradually showing an upward trend after the government of Prime Minister Imran Khan carried out a massive tree plantation campaign under the Clean and Green Pakistan Initiative.
