The Forest Department has prepared a new project for the free distribution of fruit plants. It will start distribution of all kinds of fruit plants in few days, said Sustainable Forest Department Superintendent Muhammad Noman while talking to The Express Tribune.
He said that 6,200 fruit plants will be distributed in Rawalpindi. These two-year-old plants grown in forest nurseries were six to seven feet high. Noman further said that the Sustainable Forests Rawalpindi Division has approved the construction of a new mini dam to store rainwater.
The mini-dam will be built in the Panjar forest of Kahuta. The mini-dam to be set up in the forest’s centre will irrigate the plants and also act as a watering hole for the wild animals and birds. Moreover, in the case of a forest fire, there will be plenty of water available on the spot.
“We will complete this mini dam in six months,” Noman said.
