RAWALPINDI:
Adviser to Chief Minister on Tourism and Horticulture Asif Mehmood Saturday said the Punjab government has given the permission to open parks but made it compulsory for the people to adopt precautionary measures to cope with the coronavirus.

He expressed these views while inaugurating Dewar Iqbal at Allama Iqbal Park Shamsabad.


He said people suffering from fever and cough would not be allowed to enter the parks. "People have been asked not to bring children to the parks. Basically, parks have been opened for the morning and evening walks," he added.

The Adviser to CM Punjab paid glowing tributes to Allama Iqbal, saying that his personality, philosophy, poetry, and perceptions were a national asset. "The philosophy of Allama Muhammad Iqbal is the beacon of light for the youth.”
