LAHORE:
The Lahore Parks and Horticulture Authority (PHA) is finding it difficult to fulfill its responsibility of providing a healthy environment and recreational facilities to the citizens due to shortage of funds and lack of interest of the official concerned.
About 80 per cent of parks across the provincial capital are in a dilapidated condition, while one six major ones are better maintained.
According to PHA Director General Jawad Ahmad Qureshi, a business plan has been prepared to overcome the shortage of funds. The amount generated by implementing the plan would be spent on the beautification of the city, he told The Express Tribune.

Roads in Nairobi s informal settlements will soon have walkways and cycle lanes, Kenya Urban Roads Authority (Kura) has announced.
The authority says walkways and cycle lanes are an essential part of the ongoing construction of 408km of access roads across the capital s informal settlements.
Kura said yesterday that 22km of access roads under the Sh5.8 billion project had already been completed.
Kura Director-General Silas Kinoti said the model for the planned walkways and cycle lanes in slums borrows from the non-motorised transport corridors project being implemented by Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS) in the city s Central Business District.
