In the plantation drive, the forest department provided free saplings with the support of a non-governmental organization. A total of 25000 saplings were distributed free in the same school.

Speaking on this occasion, Director General Minhasuddin said that apart from this, he also distributed 700 fruit trees to the people for free and told the local people about their importance so that they not only plant these plants but also cultivate them with care.

Munhasuddin further said that Chitral is a dry zone with no monsoon rains, due to which people often face massive loss of life and property in case of floods. It was clear to the school children and teachers in this event that if they plant more trees, they can avoid the flood damage, as trees act as a natural check dam, he said.
