The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Sukkur chapter on Monday staged a walk from Muhammad Bin Qasim Park to Sukkur Press Club to mark Earth Day
The walk was led by Member Provincial Assembly (MPA) Deewan Chand Chawla and others. Those participated included District Health Officer (DHO) Dr Agha Samiullah Pathan, WWF officials, Deputy Director EPA Abdul Rauf Memon, Sanam Faqeer and hundreds of volunteers, teachers, students and members of local NGOs.
Deewan Chand Chawla, addressing the participants, underlined the need for taking effective measures for providing a clean, conducive and natural atmosphere in the forests for nurturing wildlife.
He deplored that mushroom cutting of forests had led to destruction of forests as well as wildlife. He underscored the need for undoing this tendency.
The MPA called for coordinated and concerted efforts by the government agencies and NGOs and social organisations. For this purpose, he emphasised large scale motivation and public awareness through special campaigns.
Earlier, Deputy Director EPA Sukkur Abdul Rauf Memon, in his speech, said massive destruction of wildlife and forests had reached an alarming point and needed attention of every segment of society.
