Govt to establish PHA to preserve greenery

ISLAMABAD: The Balochistan government has decided to set up Parks and Horticulture Authority (PHA) to preserve and promote greenery and province’s horticulture.

The move is aimed at transforming Balochistan into a top travel destination which would eventually help improve its image and ensure a cleaner and a green environment.

“A bill will be tabled in the provincial assembly soon to set up the first-ever ‘beautification authority’ of Balochistan,” provincial minister Mitha Khan Kakar told APP here on Sunday.

“It is the first government in Balochistan that has decided to form the PHA, which is imperative for promoting the province as one of the top tourist destinations of the country,” he added.

Kakar said public parks would be constructed on modern lines in a bid to provide a recreational opportunity to residents of the province.
