Mehwish Hayat calls out littering in Islamabad

'Is this the image we want to be showing to the tourists who visit?' questioned Mehwish

Mehwish Hayat is known for using her Twitter handle as more than just a personal diary and now, the diva is using it to call out the littering around the country's capital, Islamabad - an important tourist spot.

Mehwish took to Twitter late last night, retweeting a video that clearly showed the dismal state up towards the Margalla Hills. "I love going up to the Margalla Hills whenever I can. It always disappoints me to see all this litter and filth," she said.

میری اسلام آباد کے تمام رہائشیوں سے گزارش ہے جو بھی مارگلہ ہلز ٹریل پر جاتے ہیں کے وہ ماحول میں آلودگی مت پھیلائیں۔ یہ دیکھ کر بہت دکھ ہوا کے لوگوں نے یہاں پلاسٹک کی بوتلیں اور پلاسٹک بیگز پھینکے ہوئے ہیں، یہ ایک خوبصورت ماحول کے ساتھ بہت بڑی ذیادتی ہے۔ ☹️#CleanGreenPakistan pic.twitter.com/Ce17zCiA0J

She went on to add, "I somehow expected more from the Islamabad crowd to keep these places of natural beauty clean. Is this the image we want to be showing to the tourists who visit?"

I love going up to the Margalla Hills whenever I can. It always disappoints me to see all this litter and filth. I somehow expected more from the ISB crowd to keep these places of natural beauty clean. Is this the image we want to be showing to the tourists who visit ?? https://t.co/rIdDqp71ec

Many people went on to agree with Mehwish, replying to her tweet with their own thoughts. "Margalla Hills is home to more than a 1000 wild species including migratory birds. This reason only, should be more than enough for us take care of it," wrote one user.

Unfortunately majority of the people involved in littering are from the educated class of the capital !

"When you raise your voice for something the administration always takes notice so it's good to see you raising your voice for Margalla Hills," wrote another.

Here's hoping that relevant authorities take notice of the issue and clean up the picturesque sights in the capital.
