The officers’ individual performances would be monitored closely, especially in the One Window Cell.

In a public-private partnership program, Parks and Horticulture Authority (PHA) planted 15,000 saplings at the Allama Iqbal International Airport. Over 3,000 volunteers participated in the event, inaugurating the Urban Forest.

Wattoo disclosed that nearly 10 urban forests were nearing completion at various locations, with plans to finish all sites in the coming months. He emphasized the daily maintenance of plants and trees in the urban forest.

The PHA’s efforts aimed to combat air pollution, enhance the environment, and beautify the city.
