Our land, our responsibility

The Northern Areas of Pakistan have often been described as ‘Heaven on Earth’

LAHORE: The Northern Areas of Pakistan have often been described as ‘Heaven on Earth’. Blessed are Pakistanis as they need not travel to other countries and spend hefty amount of money to take a vacation or to unwind from the ordeal of the daily life in a metropolis. One can easily travel via roads, railway or air. Yet the scenic beauty brings along a great deal of responsibility. We must preserve out beautiful landscapes, and we must encourage our youth to do the same while realising their responsibility towards their homeland. We must help develop our own landscapes by promoting tourism, locally and internationally. Efforts in this regard will not only help flourish the local tourism industry but also contribute to increased economic activity and prosperity.
