[Imran Khan]

[Arsalan]

[Zibago]

Neya nahi purana jamati hai, JI ki dosti aur dushmani dono buri

PTI is deh best parteh evah

Anything else POTIANS?

Yes corrupt maji ka pardhan mantri Nawaj Sharif is ta hayat na ahel

 

[Vapnope]

Did anyone even try to do basic math of cultivatable area vs number of trees claimed to be planted?
1 billion figure seems highly unlikely.
You can plant 1000 tress in an acre for starter..

 

[ali_raza]

even if its 25% donr that alone will create wonders
eco system will just change in those areas
i wonder why not showbaz compete in this regard and our once agri based punjab becomes greenest too

As usual it's Geo news trying to dig up any negative news against PTI. The elections are coming so they are in high gear now. If it's even true it would be the workers who are at fault since it's a Pakistani trait to try and do as little work as possible. Many would have probably dumped the saplings somewhere instead of planting in the target areas.

In a quater acre, you can plant 2400 trees.

 

[RIP Pak LAW]

Even if they managed to plant 25% of the target, should be considered as great achievement @ to all PTI haters. Restoring nature and making it as one of the political policy is indeed something commendable.

What is Tree to tree distance for such a number?

You might wanna check this online calculator.

Bamboo plants.

1 - They aren't planting Bamboo plants, not all of it
2 - The minimum distance if kept 5 ft X 5ft in rows and subsequent tree, the number for an acre comes out to be 1742 trees/acre.

The initiative is wonderful, all props to Khan's team and i hope all provinces take note, however i am contesting the claim of 1 billion tress specifically.

KP’s Billion Tree Tsunami project ‘not so green’

• Forestry, Environment and Wildlife Department reveals that only 221.4 mln trees have been planted in 20 out of 26 districts
• KP government claims to have planted 1.18 billion trees during past four years

PESHAWAR – Questions are being raised over the transparency of the PTI-led Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government’s green initiative – Billion Tree Tsunami project – following shocking disclosures by the provincial Forestry, Environment and Wildlife Department.

While the KP government claims to have planted 1.18 billion trees during the past four years, the official data presented in the KP Assembly on Tuesday reveals that only 221,434,085 (221.4 million) trees have so far been planted in 20 out of 26 districts.

Previously, the project’s cost had been estimated at Rs22 billion, however, the then adviser to Chief Minister on Forestry and Environment Ishtiaq Urmar claimed to have completed the project at the cost of Rs12 billion. Keeping in view his performance, CM Pervaiz Khatak also promoted him as a minister.

According to the statistics given by Forestry, Environment and Wildlife Department, as many as 6,305,133 (6.305 million) trees were planted in Mardan division; 82,769,908 (82.7m) in Hazara division; 8,422,861 (8.42m) in Kohat division; 11,661,063 (11.66m) in Dera Ismail Khan; 462,895 in Tank; 111,812,225 (111.81m) in Malakand forest region; and 5,864,775 (5.86m) trees have been planted in Kalam.

Moreover, 10,256,825 (10.25m) trees were planted in Shangla; 9,600,000 (9.6m) in Bunair; 26,673,897 (26.673m) in Malakand; 21,431,646 (21.431m) in Lower Dir; 14,331,384 (14.331m) in Upper Dir; 5,438,011 (5.438m) in Kohistan; and 6,932,187 (6.932m) have been planted in Chitral.

However, the documents presented in the KP assembly do not include details regarding the provincial capital Peshawar, Nowsehra, Charsadda, Bannu and Laki Marwat.

In 2014, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chairman Imran Khan launched the project to reduce the effects of global warming in Pakistan which is among the top ten countries most likely to be affected by the phenomenon.

This year in August, the provincial government announced to accomplish the project before the deadline, December 2017.

Yes,
Sama, Dunya, 92HD, GEO n more report this but remember one thing Mr. Champion_usmani
If Imran make a poo every Potian will shout "Wow what a poo" [emoji1]

 

[FunkyGen]

sure ,1,you cant vote sharifs or maryam to power again
2, you defend a scumbag after he was convicted by a court of robbing this country and you are probably getting paid to defend him.
you literally have no moral ground to criticise Imran since you openly support sharif even after was proven guilty of stealing from our country

Bro. I can confirm I am getting paid now where should I post these god damn receipts? confused man. Also, Miss Maryam reprimanded for the last post, said it wasn't good enough. Frigging rainy days don't come knocking now do they. I just hope I get my qeemay wala naan for today.
