ISLAMABAD: In connection with “Apni Shahrah Project” or Our Road Project, National Highway Authority (NHA) signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Member National Assembly Asma Qadeer at NHA headquarters on Wednesday.

Under Clean and Green Pakistan programme, NHA is gradually moving forward to planting saplings along national highway and motorways network. MNA Asma will ensure plantation of 10,000 saplings from Gujrat to Kharian (20 Km) and Missa Kiswal to Mandra Toll Plaza (20 Km) segments of N-5.

Thus a total of 20,000 saplings will be planted in a 40 km long area. After the completion of plantation for a year and maintenance for three years, the median will be handed back to NHA. The authority will monitor the project on regular basis.

The progress report will be uploaded on NHA’s website for reference of interested parties.
