The Horticulture Department was directed to conduct survey of major roads and arteries and wherever trees have grown disorderly on the sides of roads or green belts, they should be pruned immediately.
"Tree plantation should be done in accordance with the basic principles of horticulture and priority be given to plants that create a beautiful and lush environment," Ahmed directed.
