LAHORE:
The Parks and Horticulture Authority (PHA) has launched a citywide free plant distribution campaign as part of Independence Day and Marka-e-Haq celebrations.
Citizens received free plants at Liberty Chowk and Jail Road, while bicycle carts and mobile camps are delivering plants to various locations across Lahore.
PHA Director General Mansoor Ahmad said the initiative aims to promote environmental awareness alongside the spirit of Independence Day.
“This drive highlights the importance of tree plantation and encourages citizens to contribute to building a green Pakistan,” he added.
The distribution will continue until Thursday evening.
In addition, the city has been decorated for the occasion and major roads are illuminated with green and white lights. Electric lighting adorns all underpasses and decorated floats featuring national images are moving through city streets.
A painting competition for young artists will also be organised at the National History Museum.
