The Pakistan Tourism Development Corporation (PTDC) must launch a cleanliness awareness campaign at various tourist spots across the country to ensure a neat and green environment to attract a maximum number of tourists.
Tabish Kaleem, a tourist who visited the Pakistan Monument, Sunday demanded the relevant authorities to clean up the national monument as massive domestic and foreign dignitaries were visiting it constantly.
During the visit, he said the garbage heaps caused environmental pollution. He urged the PTDC and other relevant authorities to kick off the drive at Pakistan Monument, Faisal Mosque, and Lake View Park to provide a pollution-free environment to the visitors to make their visit pleasant.
Another tourist, Hadi Bux Chacher, who visited the world’s oldest historical and archaeological site Mohen-jo-Daro in Sindh, said there was no mechanism of cleanliness and people threw different items of garbage at various places. He stressed the need to educate the people to avoid throwing waste material at tourist spots to clean up the site.
