PMML announces nationwide tree plantation campaign from April 24 to 26

LAHORE, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 22nd Apr, 2026) Pakistan Markazi Muslim League (PMML) has announced a three-day nationwide tree plantation campaign from April 24 to 26 under the slogan “Green Pakistan, Safe Pakistan” in connection with Earth Day. The campaign will feature tree plantation activities across the country along with an awareness drive focused on environmental protection.

PMML President Khalid Masood Sindhu, in a statement issued on Wednesday, said that planting trees is essential for human survival and environmental sustainability. He emphasized that Earth Day should serve as a reminder for the nation to collectively pledge to keep Pakistan green and prosperous, adding that protecting the country in every respect is a shared national responsibility.

He pointed out that environmental degradation, declining soil fertility, unplanned urban expansion, and industrial waste have caused serious damage to the country’s ecosystem, adversely affecting both the economy and public health.

He stressed that immediate steps are needed to control environmental pollution and restore ecological balance.

Khalid Masood Sindhu further said that Pakistan has repeatedly faced floods in recent years, attributing the situation to climate change. He urged the government to adopt a comprehensive and long-term strategy, including modern water management systems, effective dam management, large-scale plantation initiatives, and strict enforcement of environmental laws.

He also underscored the importance of collective action to safeguard the environment and ensure a greener and safer Pakistan for future generations.
