LAHORE: The Parks & Horticulture Authority (PHA) has decided to compile data of all the trees and saplings it owns in its controlled areas to assess the Lahore’s actual requirement and the authority’s initiatives to improve the situation and overcome related issues.
“We have no reliable data related to total number of saplings, plants/trees we have or lost in the Punjab capital. However, we have not felled even a single tree in Lahore during the last two years or so,” PHA Director General Jawad Qureshi told Dawn on Sunday.
“I also confirm that we have added one million plants/trees to the city’s ecosystem,” he claimed.
